David/All,
  Did you ever figure this out? I would like to see how people who are using
one IP on a mail server setup their DNS so that their is only one PTR record
in the reverse for the domain..

Here are stripped examples of 2 domains on the same mail server. This
creates multiple PTR records per IP.

@     MX        0       mail.microsoft.com.
mail  A 111.111.111.111

@       MX      0       mail.yahoo.com.
mail    A       111.111.111.111


If you did a reverse lookup for the IP of 111.111.111.111 you would get both
mail.microsoft.com and mail.yahoo.com.

Does anyone have a working example of a DNS/MX entry where more than one
domain is on a mail server with one IP?

Also, how many records will IMail grab in the reverse zone??

TIA,

Dan

What are the options for setting up reverse DNS (PTR records) for
virtual domains, all on a single IP?  As I understand it, we can
only have one PTR record per IP.  In that case, how will the other
domains be verified by anti-spam filtering which makes use of PTR
records?
