Hi,

 

Am I mistaken, or didn't Declude used to detect (and report) BOGUS reverse
DNS?

 

I was shocked today when I realized that an email from this address did NOT
trigger "REVDNS":

 

63.138.145.66

 

While that IP address does have some PTR record to host
63-138-145-66.customer.static.ip.paetec.net, that host does NOT exist (it
doesn't have any "A" or "CNAME" record in the forward DNS).

 

Now I DO understand and agree, that the forward DNS doesn't have to agree
with the reverse DNS (e.g., they don't have to point to each other). 

 

But I was convinced that Declude in the past did detect a bogus Reverse DNS
which points "nowhere"? If not, then it definitely should (to be consistent
with the "HELOBOGUS" test). The HELOBOGUS test doesn't just accept some
correctly "formatted" host name, it must at least resolve.

 

Best Regards,

Andy
