Not if you also use.....

LOCAL_RULESETS
SLocal_check_relay
R$*     $: $&{client_resolve}

RTEMP   $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Access Denied ; Incomplete DNS. Cannot \
resolve PTR record for "$&{client_addr}" Please have your system \
administrator correct the zone entries."

RFORGED $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Access Denied ; Incomplete DNS. IP \
name possibly forged " $&{client_name}" Please have your system \
administrator correct the zone entries."

RFAIL   $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 Access Denied ; Incomplete DNS. \
Hostname lookup failed for " $&{client_name}" please have your system \
administrator correct the zone entries."


in your .mc file :)
Andf for those not use to adding the above, the first SPACE between
the left hand entries and right hand is a TAB not space
R$*<TAB>
RTEMP<TAB>
RFORGED<TAB>
RFAIL<TAB>

after that it's spaces..
