I check my IP and it is also missing a reverse DNS entry.  If this is a
virtual domain on a hosting service and there are many domains using the
same IP, how can I fix this?

If you run it better than centuryinter.net runs theirs *AND* the

What you've got in your DNS isn't worth a damm if no one knows to ask you.

IMail doesn't have any DNS Service.
