Is PTR record needed if SPF record points to IP

ptr-recordspf

If sending email as user@mydomain.com from mail server 1.2.3.4, and the SPF record of mydomain.com set as

"v=spf1 ip4:1.2.3.4 -all"

Will a PTR record do any good? Is PTR required for some e-mail servers to accept my e-mails, or is this SPF record sufficient for delivery purpose(without putting DKIM & ipv6 into consideration)?

Best Answer

Some mail servers will reject connections from IP's that don't have a PTR record. SPF doesn't change that behavior.
