I wanted to throw this question to the list: 1) Who does *NOT* have Reverse DNS (PTR) entries for their mailservers?
2) If so, why not? Personally I think reverse DNS entries adds an ounce of ownership to who actually uses an IP address. For instance, I have several IPs given to me by my colo provider. I have reverse DNS on all of them, even the IPs I haven't used yet. If anyone looks my IPs up they will see something like: Number.freedom2be.net as reverse DNS. This is basically telling them that "freedom2be.net" is the operator of the IP address. 3) Shouldn't all mail servers on the internet have a reverse DNS entry with some valid "administrative" domain name? We use "freedom2be.net" exclusively for our reverse DNS entries. As our mail server is multi-homed with many different domains. If someone needs to contact the appropriate owner of the IP, say our mail server was doing something "bad" (which it never has) they would know that "freedom2be.net" is the domain to email. (such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Isn't this a good idea? --Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
