Huh? Ain't no such beast as a 'reverse' of an MX record. The name pointed to by a MX (mail.your.domain. or whatever) should have a corresponding A record (otherwise how will other MTAs find it?), and there should be a PTR (reverse) record for the mail server's IP address. Nothing special, just a regular PTR in the reverse zone. It's best if the PTR resolves to the same name pointed to by the MX. -- Christopher Bort | cbort@globalhomes.com Webmaster, Global Homes | webmaster@globalhomes.com <http://www.globalhomes.com/>
