WOW! That'll teach be to read the entire thread before I reply to the most recent message posted . . . :-)
I haven't seen a VAX since the early '90s (they were obsolete then, but at least they were good at keeping the room warm). Why run 4.3BSD on a VAX when VMS works so much better? Running 4.3BSD on a VAX back then was like trying to run Windows XP on MAC hardware now . . . :-) Steve -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roger E.

In my opinion, RFCs are strong suggestions and intended for best practice (e.g. I do not follow all of them with MTAs I manage, particularly Exchange servers and MX backups). What compelling reason do you have for implementing this particular RFC? Why RFC 1035 over, say, this one? http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc527 >> Add that task to the TBD consultant's TODO list. > > Nope.

Ok, I must have missed something. You're missing a PTR record (I'm guessing) on your MTA, and the remote MTA doesn't like it (with good reason). And we're now we're talking about VAX, rewriting a new flavor of DNS, and non "pee sea hardware"?
