Search Again: Re: PTR records and reverse zone authority From: Erich Kaminsky Date: Sunday, August 8, 1999 Time: 9:14:00 pm Actually I'm having more trouble receiving mail than getting it. Everything I send from my local mail server arrives at it s target just fine but everything that gets sent back to my mail server gets lost. They have reverse mapped the IP's for my Name Servers but they are reluctant to map my whole block of 16. They offer alot of other benefits that precluse the likelihood of switching. They've given me 16 IPs at no extra charge at the standard rate for a residential dsl line. The savings is pretty significant. >Subject: Re: PTR records and reverse zone authority >From: Men & Mice Support <cbuxton@menandmice.com> >Date: Sat, 7 Aug 1999 23:49:31 -0700 > >>So doe this mean that if your provider won't reverse map the IP numbers in >>your zone (for either organizational or security purposes) that the mail >>server in my zone can not be made to receive messages? > >No, but you may have trouble sending messages. > >Why won't they either set your reverse records to what you want or delegate >them to you? If they flatly refuse, I would probably look for a new ISP. Erich Kaminsky K2 Consulting, Inc. ek@k-2.net
