No. It is preferable to run a local DNS server if you can, but if you can't, and you don't know of problems resulting from that, it's not a reason not to provide the data. Although it is definitely a reason to check to see if you are getting any problems. The best place to look is to compare your hit rates of common DNS RBL/WL rules: http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/20121208-r1418628-n/RCVD_IN_DNSWL_LOW/detail http://ruleqa.spamassassin.org/20121208-r1418628-n/RCVD_IN_SBL/detail The two basic problems are: 1) You get blocked by the RBL/WL, so you get no hits. 2) Your provider's DNS server is evil and returns an IP for one of its webservers to feed you advertising any time you look up a hostname that doesn't have an IP, which can result in getting the same RBL/WL response for every IP that isn't actually listed in that RBL/WL. Manually checking those returned values can also be useful. -- "But do you have any idea how many SuperBalls you could buy if you actually applied yourself in the world?
