I use it on all my inbound MX's, it's pretty standard, you won't see any
problems using it, all the bigger ISP's implemented it some time ago,
and brought the smaller guys into line.

I've been testing http://smfs.sourceforge.net/smf-sav.html this milter
as well, on a lower pref MX (Spam Catcher). It goes further then just
checking reverse DNS, it also checks whether the domain actually accepts
mail, and if it accepts mail for the specified sender.
