Seeing that XMail POP3 does it correctly (or as I see as correctly),
shouldn't I expect SMTP to act the same?
Since the top level domains are never/seldom used on their own, it would
seem sensible not to strip down to that point, or at least stop stripping
once it finds a match in the handled domains list.
I suppose I could put host.webifi.com in the pointer record, but since the
same IP address is used for mail, www, ftp, news, etc.. etc.. I seems more
logical to just use the root domain... and I'm not the only one that does
this.

Finally got reverse lookup working under Windows 2000, but now SMTP will
reply 989081168.1272@com instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED].
The reverse lookup of Your IP is webifi.com where webifi.com is Your
domain.
It would be more correct to have host.webifi.com instead of having an IP
linked
to a domain name.
XMail strip off the host part that, in Your case, is part of the domain
name.
