OT: Seeking opinion about reverse-DNS lookups on SMTP HELO

To combat spam I have enabled reverse-DNS lookups of incoming SMTP
connections. If the FQDN does not match the HELO-Identity, I reject the
connection with a 550 Error.
I have now found that this breaks communication even with reputable
(well, an international bank that is) peers. Dunno how much more mail I
may have lost through this... How are you out there handling that, are
you doing reverse-lookups?
