Zack, WISPA is a trade organization...if you care what it says, then join. It is not a business (I'll shop there if you offer better customer service), it is not a gym member (I'll join if you get this piece of equipment), it is a trade organization. It is member run, as all trade organizations

This was in reference to the FCC trips, which I certainly remember from before WISPA was formed. I don't really see either orgranization doing anything else. Not that I'm saying they should be doing something else, but that's all I see that either organization has done (or is doing).

A quicker workaround than convincing your IP provider to set the reverse for you would be to use a remotely dedicated or co-located server (or even a cheaper virtual server) to bounce all of your outgoing and incoming mail through. That way you could set up something like mta.yourdomain.com

To see who is authoritative for the address space, run a whois on the addresses in question... If they can't/won't help you (which, given the non-standard connection you seem to be using, is a real possibility), then you're best off running email and such services either on a colocated basis or

It could depend if you are talking about a franchisee or corp store. Wayport from what I remember took the prize back in 2004 and beyond to provide Wi-Fi. That's who we bucked up against back then. Working with McD's is never easy, even with inside help. Frank Muto President FSM Marketing

Since you are on their network, I would simply relay the email through their server, the lookup will be sent through for server which should have a proper rDNS, you may need to set an SPF record for the mail server, but that should work ( I have done it like that on a dynamic IP before)
