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.

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.
