I find this more frustrating. I have a dynamic IP address, because fixed IP address
ADSL isn't very common here in Australia. So I use DYNDNS to map my domain MX records.
I can't get matching PTR records.
I'm assuming my mail bounced because I don't have matching PTR and MX records.
Why should email assume fixed IP addresses for email delivery, or rather, matching PTR
and MX records ?

I just match on either the
"Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
header, or the ML specific email address I've created.
I'm using Sylpheed though, it seems to be more flexible on matching header fields than
most other email clients I've used in the past.
