"a bad ISP that (apparently) can't setup reverse DNS" - yes, we have one or two of those too. Not necessarily bad as such, more lazy and inexperienced staff. Same for the admin who chose them though. Well, it is the biggest, older, and most powerful ISP here, so not inexperienced. Being the biggest, oldest and/or the most powerful does not preclude being inexperienced or lazy :-(
They simply do not want to, or the channels to get such things working are not known or open. They actually refuse to set up reverse DNS for people who pay for a fixed IP ? The mind boggles.
Welcome to the real world... At least in the US. There is much to boggle the mind
Haha, too true. I frequently encourage new customers to get a reverse DNS mapping for their mailserver if they haven't - I also get to hear some horror stories. It's usually the bigger ISPs that are lazy (or incompetent), the smaller one are much more nimble and service oriented.
I have business class service (necessary with my ISP to get fixed IP addresses... I have a block of 14) and their residential side mail servers reject email from my email server... And the IS a PTR record, but it doesn't match my domain.
I guess you have a /28 - has/does your provider actually refused to setup reverse DNS? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
