You might as well power off your computer, and revert to surface mail, in line with Jeffrey comment.
You will be rejecting a lot of legitimate servers, bussiness and private, and users like me. One of the mail accounts I use doesn't have reverse dns, simply because the domain was not bought trough the ISP, and the ISP refuses to adjust reverse mapping (probably till you pay them extra, and maybe even if you do).
Why don't we all turn off our computers, go back in time 25 years and then no virii, no worms except for fishing for fish -not someone's personal info, Our children and grandkids will learn more in school, get rid of calculators in school so they can also learn how to add 2+2... The point is as I pointed out before is this is my home PC with my own domain that I only use for very few emails and I (not inferring everyone) don't care if some email gets missed, I have another address from my ISP I use for all other email (Earthlink with their -full- spamblocker setting which blocks 100% of addresses not in the address book). And the reverse DNS just needs something in the name even if it only maps to a name provided by your ISP and doesn't match what you provide, it will only block IP's that have nothing in the reverse lookup. If you want to test it send an email to my list address and see if it goes through. If I am wrong I am wrong and so be it. But then that is how we learn is it not, by our mistakes? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please* "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
