WRONG! Domain name registrants DO NOT PROVIDE PTR RECORDS.

I used to reject mail based on that as well, but it was catching way too much legit mail.

You are all correct, I do not have a reverse ptr entry.

I use Logalot, and it doesn’t display the messages AOL is sending back.

I spent over an hour on the phone with Somix and ended up turning Imails logging back on instead of using the Application log.

And voila! Clear as day AOL is sending this to us:

Unfortunately,  we use register.com for our DNS services and they do not allow or support reverse DNS entries.

I would love to reject mail based on that but there are too many mail admins that don't have reverse PTR's

Hi All,

Does anybody have any ideas why AOL would start bouncing all of our email?

We haven’t made any changes to our server settings, mx records, etc. in quite a while.

Regards,

Roland
