No. The DNS server that answers for your domain must have a reverse entry
for your server as well. If not, then the major ISP's such as AOL and
Hotmail will reject your email.

Subject: [IMail Forum] OT: AOL Says I don't have RDNS



AOL is rejecting some email from my system saying that it does not have a
reverse DNS entry. I'm not totally sure I understand RDNS, but basically I
assume that if I have an IP that matches the EHLO domain, I'm ok.


Connecting to the outside world, my server comes from 209.202.128.38. The
email server identifies itself as outbound2.bullhorn.com, which maps to the
said IP. Is this enough?


Also, has anyone else noticed that AOL has begun accepting email, deciding
to reject it as spam and then not sending an NDR? Very annoying...


Thanks,
