Actually, I believe the ISP that hosts your IP space needs to have the RDNS.

You can only host RDNS for IP space you control.

The provider that hosts your DNS may not always be the provider that hosts your IP 
space.

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.

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,
