These "reverse MX" records can be easily published in DNS. It takes only one line in DNS to fullfil all requirements. I will give you an example later in this article.

Hacking Email: 99 tips to make you more secure and productive
When people read out a phone number, they email sender "phone rhythm." No one has to explain "phone rhythm," we all just seem to do it automatically, "…713...555...12…34". Similarly, when we answer a phone call we all say, "Hello." No one taught us to do that, but somehow we all seemed to pick it up.
When someone receives mail purporting to be from your organization's domain, sender authentication systems will be able to check your DNS record to see if the sending mail server is authorized to mail in your name. Failing an authentication test is an indication that a message may not have a trustworthy sender, and should be subjected to spam filters.
Unlocking the Power of SPF
DK was proposed by Yahoo as a way to authenticate the sender of an email. Essentially, the email is signed using a public key cryptographic signature. A receiving Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) or Mail User Agent (MUA) can look up the public key in the DNS record for the sending domain and compute the signature. If it matches the entry in the DomainKey-Signature header, the email has been verified to have come from that domain.

So why is it that when it comes to emails, there email sender standards? Even though 6 billion emails are sent every day, almost no one agrees about simple things like email etiquette, how to organize a note, or whether emails are considered private or not.
The 99 tips in this article make up the best in email practices. From how to ethically use the ‘BCC:' to what attachments will make your mobile emailing compatible with everyone else's, this list covers everything you need to know about emailing.
Etiquette
We're all guilty of bad manners once in a while, but when it comes to emailing, some people are downright clueless.
1.
Don't send private messages with the company account. If you want to send personal messages from work (and you should probably try to minimize this), use a freebie account like Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo!, or Excite, if your office permits it. The content of your emails is less visible to employers through these accounts, so the private messages you send will stay private.
2.
Use BCC if necessary. If you must send a group email to people who do not know each other, don't add their addresses to the form's CC field; this is one method spammers use to harvest email addresses. Instead, use BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) for their addresses, and put your own email in the form's "to" field.
3.
Don't send form letters. Its impolite to send form letters, especially to your friends and colleagues unless they are all part of a group that is expecting them.
4.
Don't forward chain letters. Just don't do it. Enough said. That includes the email that says that if you don't forward it to 10 people you'll die. I don't care how superstitious you are, don't send them.
5.
Be professional. Ensure your work emails don't contain 'u', 'afk', 'ty', 'jk' and/or several million other texting/chatroom acronyms. These developed because cell phones' keypads aren't well-suited to writing fully-formed words, sentences and paragraphs. In business communications, however, they may give the impression of childishness and illiteracy.
6.
Be professional, part 2: Check tone. Be aware of the professional (or not) relationship between yourself and the recipient before starting an email. Use that to gauge what topics are appropriate to write or not, as well as the tone of your writing. This may be common sense to most, but you’d be surprised at how often the rule is ignored.
7.
Be careful. Email is not private; it can be intercepted anywhere en route to its recipient. In addition, it can live on for years in recipient email boxes, later to return to its sender in choice quotations. Think before sending email you will later regret.
