If you are working on a dynamic line you should consider to either upgrade to a static ip or at least to use a relayhost with a static ip.
But bear in mind, that even statics does not guarantee you will have an option to specify the reverse.
Many ISPs will simply NOT allow you to specify a reverse.
Having a static IP will have two benefits: - dns resolution will always point to the right ip address - (hopefully) your ip is not marked as dynamic in a blacklist Having a proper reverse DNs means that: - your provider is on good speaking terms with the provider of address space (or even that he is the address space provider) - your dns name is meant to last for some time. it ist not neccessary for the client itself to have the option to define the reverse dns name. But if I am asking my provider to take care of setting the pointer to the right name, he should either do it or I will take my business to someone who CAN do it. Even if he is more expensive than the big ISP. Currently we are paying quite a bit of money for our line plus the transfer volume. But our provider is doing his very best to make us happy, so we pay his outrageous fees. Sandy -- List replies only please!
