As an anti-spam measure, some ISPs require a reverse lookup before accepting an e-mail message to ensure that it came from a valid IP address and/or e-mail domain. This test fails on our mainframe-generated e-mail to some ISPs because the origination information in the header will not pass the reverse lookup. Do you have any suggestions?
