I believe (I could be mistaken) ARIN requires it. I've had e-mail correspondence in the past with ARIN when they've found IP's allocated to us that didn't have PTR records for them. Again, like you said above, good practise v.s. requirement. > Eric S > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com> > Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 5:03 PM > Subject: [IMail Forum] which rfc is it? >> All, >> >> Can anybody tell me which rfc states that mailservers must have a >> reverse-lookup? >> >> Thanks, >> Jon >> ----------------------------------------------------------- Duane Hill | Network Operations - YourNetPlus.Com, Inc. | E-mail Administrator - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------- "This message is made of 100% recycled electrons."
