I pay [*] for a business DSL line (static IP, 20:1 contention, etc). I've faxed my provider 3 times to try and get them to delegate rDNS to me and they've done nothing. I've now given up. SPF is a more complete solution to the problem that rDNS based blocking is trying to solve. But then you may never see this email, so it matters not :-) [*] This is actually a slight lie, but it complicates the matter even further rather than simplifies it. Email me offlist if you want the gritty details. -- <!-- Matt --> <:->get a SMart net</:-> I am Jack's broken heart.
