Fyi, it's likely that your ISP must host the PTR (believe you referred to it as IN-ADDR) record - or assign it to someone. From: Steven M.

Directnic, I've been using them for Domain reg. and hosted DNS. Very helpful and attentive folks. They warn of renewals at 90, 60, 30, then a week. DNS hosting is $5 a year.

Re: DNS hosting suggestions for exchange
Since you say home setup, I'm guessing you are on a residential connection. I would recommend that you continue to smart host through your ISP. Even with proper DNS records, you could still find yourself subject to a targeted residential blacklist. There are well-known popular DNSBLs that are used for this (e.g. Spamhaus). You would also need to look into removing anything residential appearing about your PTR. This is another DNS object that is under increasing scrutiny. Are you having issues with your smart host configuration? On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 11:55 AM, Steven M. Caesare [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So… I need to tidy up my home Exch2K3 setup.
