In order to set up a valid PTR (that is, canonically accurate) for the webserver as queried by your mailserver, you need to have a DNS server that is capable of returning PTR data for your private IP range. Note that this is actually reason #nnn to not rely solely on external DNS servers (viz. the debate from a few weeks ago), since those servers cannot return records for your internal IPs. It is true that in very simple networks, one rarely needs internal reverse DNS resolution; it is admitted that maintaining in-addr.arpa zones is indeed a step up from the pure, demonstrated simplicity of running a caching-only recursive DNS server. Nonetheless, if you have more than one internal machine *and* maintain a Declude installation, I remain firm in my belief that you should be able to maintain a DNS server. The other way around it is to use whitelisting, etc., but I really like to have my machines know each other. Maybe that's just my thing. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.imprimia.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
