The fact that they're rejecting on a 5xx error based on no DNS PTR is a bit harsh. While I'm all for requiring all hosts to have valid PTR records, there are times when transient or problem servers can cause a DNS lookup failure or miss, etc. If anything they should be returning a 4xx to have the remote host"try again later". -- Robert Blayzor INOC [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.inoc.net/~rblayzor/ Earth is 98% full...please delete anyone you can.
