[swinog] Anyone from Green here?

One of my customers has just been told he needs to pay to get a DNS
reverse map entry for thei Green ADSL line with fixed IP.
Is that really true??

 I had a similar query lately, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] replied that
 with MPS1 (1 IP address) they won't do it, they will do it only for
 MPS8 and with a delegation.

That's the answer my customer got too.

 
 That's a pity, but it's how marketing works.

It's not only very poor marketing, it's incredibly arrogant. Selling a
static IP and then charging extra for the reverse mapping ...

If the reverse mapping points to some valid A record, why 
do you need to change it? 
There aren't many applications that really depend on the reverse name - 
for most of the things it's enough that the reverse name is a valid one.

Hey Stan

 for most of the things it's enough that the reverse name is a valid one.

You never tried to operate a mailserver behind a DSL-connection yet,
right? :)

well, I used to support customers which were running mail servers 
behind a broadband connection. Most spam filters and blacklists like SORBS
check the reverse naming, and if it doesn't have words like cable, ppp, dynamic 
and such, it's quite safe to work with it.

It just has to have some decent name, but the name shouldn't be necessarily 
customizable by the user.

Anyway, who's going to send email directly from a broadband connection, instead 
of using the ISP's relay? :-)

Provided everything is properly set up, why shouldn't they?

In this case, the reverse lookup returns something like 

zux000-nnn-nnn.adsl.green.ch. 

The customer is (quite reasonably) running a mailserver on it, and would
like the reverse mapping to be set up properly.

We had asked several time green.ch for a delegation for a MPS8 and MPS16 
contract - and they denied it. So submitted a list of
hosts to be added to their DNS for adding PTRs. No reply, and still only the 
default PTR entries...

Has anything changed in this since the TIC merger?

-Kurt.

That was reason enough for me to change provider.
There are other ISPs on this list which are RIPE compliant, less arrogant and 
more customer oriented.

Salut, Stanislav,

The case of an ISP's mail server accepting mail originating from a
non-ISP address (e.g. not @tiscali.ch for tiscali, just as an example)
to a non-local address is not very common as far as I can tell. That
may well be a reason why one might have to do it. Alternatively, one
can of course get some fully managed solution but that's not what you
might want if you do special magic or don't trust anyone or have
whatever other legitimate reason.
