Because that's the way that some common spam filtering works with 
SpamAssassin and various other tools.  If the forward and reverse DNS 
translations for the peer mail server don't match, then the local box — 
not the mail server with the bad DNS — can consider the remote box — 
the mail server with the mismatched DNS — to be a spam engine, and drop 
the messages.
