how do i set up the reverse-lookup record i set the MX and A record now how do i set up the reverse thank you very much ----- Original Message ----- From: Luis Alberto Arango To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 9:24 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] DNS records You can do this.   Create an A record named for example mail.jcws.net and make it point to 208.18.12.3 Then create a MX record pointing to mail.jcws.net  priority 10   I suggest also to create a PTR (reverse-lookup) record that resolves the IP address of your IMail PC to the Official Hostname of your IMail domain. (Many large ISPs will drop your connection if they cannot match your IMail hostname with a PTR record for your IP address.) Wait between 16 and 24 hours for the new DNS information to properly propagate around the world, so if you sent an email to @jcws.net it recognizes the new MX information.   Good Luck.   Luis Arango ----- Original Message ----- From: randy Martin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2001 12:53 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] DNS records how do i setup my DNS records for Imail win2000 server. domain name is jcws.net ip address is 208.18.12.3 and do i set the records up for that. can anyone help please. kinda new at dns and MX records any help would be appreciated thanks.   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
