Which domain is your IPd domain - not virtual?

I feel like I am in over my head here and don't know what direction to go in. 90% of our domains have their mail record set up to point to 64.7.202.222 because that is the IP their domain is set to. Should they all point to something different? ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Rabe <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 11:14 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Questions for Mail hosts Technically they don't all need to match, BUT your IPd OHN does need to have reverse DNS. There is nothing stating that for all forwards, it has to have a matching reverse. HOWEVER, your Main IP'd domain does need to have a reverse that matches the OHN. Travis From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kathy Lees Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 10:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [IMail Forum] Questions for Mail hosts I have been going back and forth on this and can't seem to get the answers my boss wants. So I am hoping you guys can help me. We have a few hundred email accounts using our mail server as virtual mail accounts. Of course, when a reverse dns is done, the lookup does not match the domain name it was sent from and messages are being rejected. We have been told that we would have to get a different IP address for each domain, which isn't feasable. How do other hosting companies handle this issue? I can't imagine we are the only ones. Any help, suggestions would be appreciated. Kathy
