Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Is this a personal or business account?
And is the address a static or DHCP one?
New Personal -
Though one of the forwarders is professional. Speakeasy doesn't care, as long as you're not spamming or doing anything illegal. The address is static...

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
 
 
New You need to pay speakeasy more money to make it work.
I've got a business account with them.
One if the features of a business account is DNS setup.

Without the DNS setup, you CANNOT get a reverse DNS to work since no matter what you say at register.com, if the ISP does not delegate the addresses it is not the authoratative name server, which means no one knows to go to it for the address.

Bottom line: You work by accident. No matter how well, it is still an accident.

But: You may be able to kludge it. Some more.

Change your system name to match the reverse DNS entry. Give it a shot.
New No surprises.
I understand that a reverse isn't going to work. I don't think it COULD work for my setup. That's why I don't understand how it can be a common check for mailservers though. It isn't logical (to me anyway) that I can have no trouble with virtually all mailservers when reverse DNS won't work for me, if even a sizable percentage were using it.

Interesting idea about the system name though. Gonna try it.
