PTR question (Probably RFC related)

[Cyril Bitterich]

Hi,

could you tell me if there is any need to have a valid reverse lookup for your 
mailserver.
Either based on a RFC or common practice.

Thanks,

Cyril

If that server is going to be connecting to other mail servers and
sending them mail, common practice requires a PTR record, and an A or
CNAME record for that name that refers to the same IP address.  Many
mail servers will refuse to accept your mail otherwise.
