Should a PTR record resolve to the name of my mail server?

I just moved to a new dedicated server and the new PTR record resolves to
SERVERNAME.usa.prod.interland.net. Should it go to imail.mydomain.com, which
is the name of my mail server instead? Interland says that as long as their
is a PTR record, then it doesn't matter.

I am not able to send mail to aol right now and I talked to them and they
said I am not on their high level block list and they weren't sure what the
problem is. My imail logs just say SMTP_DELIV_FAIL and the bounced message
from aol says:

============================
Delivery failed 1 attempts: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Unexpected connection response from server:
============================


Everything at dnsreport.com reports okay.


Could the PTR record be the problem? AOL says a problem there would create a
high level block, which I don't have...

Any other ideas for why I am not able to send mail to aol? I am using 8.11
Imail Server and wasn't having any problems before upgrading and moving to
the new server.

I am able to send mail to some of my other test addresses at various
domains...

Thanks

Vince
