I am having difficulty configuring reverse DNS.  This has been a problem for over a year between my server(s) and my ISP, AT&T.  Specifically, I cannot  eMail to any recipient that requires rDNS verification, e.g., SBCglobal.net, Comcast.net, or AOL.  Very frustrating.

Two examples of dig:

# dig -t mx alpha.archaxis.net
ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1,

Why does this first example, digging the FQDN of alpha.archaxis.net reports one authority but no answers?

# dig -t mx archaxis.net
ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0,

. . .yet this second example. digging the FQDN of archaxis.net reports no authority but 2 answers?

(The) ;; ANSWER SECTION: (of both examples) reports:
archaxis.net.           10800   IN      MX      30 bravo.archaxis.net.
archaxis.net.           10800   IN      MX      20 alpha.archaxis.net.

In both cases, the reported server is an AT&T server ;; SERVER: 68.94.157.9#53
. . .why shouldn’t this “point” to my server, 162.202.233.81 and not AT&T’s?

I have coded my BIND 9 in-addr.arpa zone file as follows:

$ORIGIN   233.202.162.in-addr.arpa.
$TTL 3h
@       IN   SOA      ns1.archaxis.net.  me.archaxis.net. (
                          2017012002    ; Serial
                                1h      ; Refresh
                                1h      ; Retry
                                1h      ; Expire
                                1h )    ; Negative cashing TTL

                3600    IN   NS   ns1.archaxis.net.
                3600    IN   NS   ns2.archaxis.net.

80              3600    IN   PTR  network.archaxis.net.
81              3600    IN   PTR  alpha.archaxis.net.
82              3600    IN   PTR  bravo.archaxis.net.
87              3600    IN   PTR  broadcast.archaxis.net.

What is wrong?  Is this my problem, or with AT&T?
