BS.  Grow a spine, stand up for the standards, and kick non-compliant mail 
to the curb.  If enough people do it, others will follow.

In any case, this mail does appear to be RFC compliant.  act.gov.au has an 
MX record, "10 mail.act.gov.au".  mail.act.gov.au has an A record, 
"136.153.4.2". 2.4.153.136.in-addr.arpa has a PTR record, 
"mail.dpa.act.gov.au". And mail.dpa.act.gov.au has an A record of 
"136.153.4.2".
