I do have an unconfigured PTR for a couple of reasons, one of those is lack
of static IP for now. But I never had problems with gmail. Instead, I have
problems with this list which rejects my messages sent from my own MTA
because they cannot find a hostname for my IP. So I have to post from my
gmail account.
Although I'm an addict of true decentralization, fans of rdns/fcrdns and
spf as well make me think that independent email is dead.

And, just for the record, I have checked this my gmail account, and the
inbox contains no less messages than I get to my own axy@???
