I have raised a request with "The Planet" (the hosting provider, it does not
provide a web interface) for the PTR record. I think I am slowly getting the
point of this reverse DNS lookup. It adds for an extra layer of security to
prevent spam because the spammers might not have access to the manipulation of
PTR records.
But I have another doubt, suppose that a particular ISP does not allow for
changing the PTR records or assigns dynamic IPs (like BSNL), then would it not
be possible for hosting an email server? Would services like Gmail blacklist
such IPs completely?
