Please forgive my ignorance here ~ I have noticed that when I send e-mail from outlook 2000 that the nat'ed IP of my T1 provider shows up and it does not have a reverse DNS.

X-RCPT-TO: Status: U X-UIDL: 353558055 I asked my ISP to provide reverse DNS entries for my block of IP's and they replied: If you want us to create the DNS records, you need to tell us which IP points to which fully-qualified hostnames. These hostnames need to match actual forward DNS record too. Are they right do I need FQDNs for all my IPs? I am currently only using these IPs for internet access, should I pop a Linux box here and make entries myself? Also, I didn't even know that Outlook would use the Nat'ed IP. I always assumed that when we send mail out through our server that it would be the server's IP that was sent in the e-mail, not the current internet connections.
