educating rDNS violators

Our mail administration group recently implemented blocking of all incoming
messages from domains that cannot be resolved via reverseDNS, for purposes
of spam prevention.  Of course, there are quite a number of legitimate
business contacts who do not have rDNS properly configured.  Assuming that
the rDNS criterion remains, the question becomes one of who will notify
and/or educate the sender(s) about this issue.  The only time-efficient way
that I can think of to do this would be to have instructions and references
in the body of the bounce message itself.  Anyone tried that?  Results?
Other suggestions?  Thanks in advance.
