Friends,
I wish to solve 2 matters

Who is your ISP?

DNS does not match SMTP Banner
2--
a spf record
Try one of these  https://www.google.com/#q=spf+record+generator&safe=off  If you check out a couple of them, you'll begin to see how they work.  There is also a page with a legend telling you what all of the entries mean.

---matter 1
I am now doing DNS for a domain at my isp ( twtelecom ) that I am doing a mailserver

domain = theppsgroup.com

mailserver - mailhost.theppsgroup.com
168.215.62.222

the above machine is named sifter.pps-inc.com
but I have edited the
/var/qmail/control/smtpgreeting to read

mailhost.theppsgroup.com - Welcome Blah Blah

When I run http://mxtoolbox.com/

Domain Name:= theppsgroup.com

I get 7 warnings
1 is
Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner

my PTR reads
ptr= 222.62.215.168.in-addr-arpa. 86400 IN PTR

should my smtpgreeting to read

168.215.62.222 - Welcome Blah Blah

?

why do i still get thsi warning?

========================================================
matter 2
indeed I have no spf
and I would like to add a SPF & maybe a TXT

i am thinking my SPF would read
theppsgroup.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 a mx -all"

do you agree?
I am referencing the wisdom of
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SPF

Thanks much

once I get that Ironed out
reckon I will try TLS
