Your SMTP Greeting should NOT be an IP
address. The issue is slightly mislabeled. The PTR record (which
is under the control of your ISP, NOT your local DNS service) is
apparently BLANK -- which it cannot be. The PTR record would
ideally match your SMTP header, but to get it changed, you MUST
contact your ISP.
Also, assuming your MX server (inbound mai) and outbound mail
source are the same host (they usually are for smaller companies),
then your SPF record is fine... HOWEVER, to remain compatible with
older DNS and mail systems, you should have a DUPLICATE TXT
record... That is:
theppsgroup.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 a mx -all"
theppsgroup.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all"
I hope this helps.

Friends,
I wish to solve 2 matters
Who is your ISP?
1--
DNS does not match SMTP
Banner
2--
a spf record
Try one of these https://www.google.com/#q=spf+record+generatorsafe=off
If you check out a couple of them, you'll begin to see how
they work. There is also a page with a legend telling you
what all of the entries mean.
---matter 1
I am now doing DNS for a domain at my isp ( twtelecom ) that
I am doing a mailserver
domain = theppsgroup.com
mailserver - mailhost.theppsgroup.com
168.215.62.222
the above machine is named sifter.pps-inc.com
but I have edited the
/var/qmail/control/smtpgreeting to read
mailhost.theppsgroup.com - Welcome Blah Blah
When I run http://mxtoolbox.com/
Domain Name:= theppsgroup.com
I get 7 warnings
1 is
Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner
my PTR reads
ptr= 222.62.215.168.in-addr-arpa. 86400 IN PTR
should my smtpgreeting to
read
168.215.62.222 - Welcome Blah Blah
?
why do i still get thsi warning?
matter 2
indeed I have no spf
and I would like to add a SPF maybe a TXT
i am thinking my SPF would read
theppsgroup.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 a mx -all"
do you agree?
I am referencing the wisdom of
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SPF
Thanks much
once I get that Ironed out
reckon I will try TLS
