Reverse DNS is handled by your ISP, usually they setup reverse DNS by default, something along the lines of x.x.x.x.Lex.DSL.ISP.net or something along those lines. If you want to setup your own reverse DNS you will need to work that out with your ISP.
Regarding other DNS entries on the mail server IP causing problems, I've actually never heard that, I'd like to read more on that, I have a number of names going to a single IP for mail. Do you have any more info on that? Rob, for your HD backups; are you using Windows Backup to back up the system state, or are you just backing up the files? -----Original Message----- From: Rob Munn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 10:46 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Hosting Considerations DNS I don't host my own DNS. TW hosts one domain for me. I have my other domains registered with Yahoo! and they maintain the DNS for me. Awesome! Special note on DNS and email - If you host your own email server, you will need to make sure that your DNS entry for your mail server is properly configured. Many mail servers will not accept mail from a sending host that can't be verified by reverse DNS. And you can't have any other DNS entries on your mail server IP address, so you'll need to have multiple static IPs. Backup I don't mess with tape, I go with a Maxtor OneTouch external drive, and I make periodic DVD burns of data. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Now there’s a better way to fax. eFax makes it possible to use your existing email account to send and receive faxes.
