I have a static IP, and a domain name. I have DNS running fine on my server sith no probs. I've noticed some emails not sending very well, then got an email from my ISP telling me there's a problem when sending to AOL, and to fix this I'd need to ask them to setup a reverse DNS record for my hostname. They've done this, but... When I try to connect to IRC, i get errors like "don't connect from a mail server". Currently My DNS records look like... @ IN SOA ns1.mydomain.com. root.mydomain.com. ( 2004110901 ; Serial 1H ; Refresh 1H 1H ; Retry 1W ; Expire 1D ) ; Minimum IN NS ns1.mydomain.com. IN NS ns2.mydomain.com. IN MX 10 mail.mydomain.com. mydomain.com. IN A [my external IP address] localhost IN A 127.0.0.1 ns1 IN CNAME mydomain.com. ns2 IN CNAME mydomain.com. www IN CNAME mydomain.com. ftp IN CNAME mydomain.com. mail IN CNAME mydomain.com. My ISP has setup a reversal as... [my external IP address] -> mail.intelcompute.com Does my ISP need to setup another reverse pointer, or should I edit my own setup? Cheers, Rob
