I'd bet it was a misunderstanding of the word "remarked", I was about to do
the same mistake...

What follows is a off topic, being sendmail related, but...

accept_unresolvable_domain applies to MAIL FROM: domain, not connection IP.

Try

LOCAL_RULESETS
SLocal_check_relay
R$*		$: $&{client_resolve}
RTEMP		$#error $@ 4.7.1 $: "450 Access denied. Cannot resolve PTR record for " $&{client_addr}
RFORGED		$#error $@ 4.7.1 $: "450 Access denied. IP name possibly forged " $&{client_name}
RFAIL		$#error $@ 4.7.1 $: "450 Access denied. IP name lookup failed " $&{client_name}

And variants (taken from
http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/sendmailtips.php). You may
very well have to back up, because they're so many badly setup MXes
around... :(

Check http://www.rfc-ignorants.org/ for other interesting "well
behaving peers" RBLs, like rejecting mail from domains that don't
accept bounces (if they don't want feedback about delivery,
probability that messages are SPAM highly increases)...
