No. Who gives you your Internet connection? They give you an IP address from one of a block they have. *They* have not set up *their* DNS server to return a PTR record whenever anyone comes calling trying to turn the IP address into a textual name. Complain to them. If you say the reason why you're complaining, that various mail servers on the Internet at large are refusing to accept emails from you because your IP address doesn't have a DNS PTR record, then they may say "Oh, well, you shouldn't be sending it to them directly, you should hand it over instead to this SMTP server we run on one of our machines as a service to you, and then *we* send it on from there". Any they may have a point. :-) Cheers, Ralph. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
