Search Again: Re: REVERSE DNS Question. From: Len Conrad Date: Monday, June 17, 2002 Time: 5:36:33 pm >Do I need a PTR record in the domain record for vision-media yes >for any and all list or mail servers that are listed. at least for the ip of your MX machine. > OR/AND >do I need add a PTR record JUST for the mail or list server (even >my mail and DNS are on the same machine) ? that's better than nothing. It's the absence of a PTR record for the ip from which you send mail that will hurt most. But even that absence is not too painful because so many MTA's do not have reverse set up that a hard PTR test will have too many false positives. However, AOL eg will give some weight to your absent PTR and combine it with other factors to reject your mail.
