haha I understand I administer email for 3000 users so you get to know the ropes. :-) So here is what you need to do to make sure that everything is kosher. 1. Create a PTR for 67.59.153.214 by sending your ISP a ticket. I would suggest doing mx.camdenfamily.com or smtp.camdenfamily.com. This way

I'm using CF to send mail, and just using the simple MS SMTP server to send the mail out. My "real" mail server is hosted at gmail. That's where I send from when using my mail client. On Jan 22, 2008 8:42 PM, J.J. Merrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would just set it to anything. Must email ser

Ray, One IP address is fine, the thing you need to remember is that the IP is associated with a doman name. Then you can alias as many domain names to point to an IP address. And then let the webserver serve based on the name. On 1/23/08, Raymond Camden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmm. So I h

I would just set it to anything. Must email servers check for the existence of PTR and don't care what it is. I would just use camdenfamily. Are you sending email directly from CF or are you using a SMTP server to do the dirty work? If sending from CF you might want to look into creating a SPF fo

Hmm. So I have a few servers on my box. cflib, camdenfamily, etc. All of these use the same IP. I assume I can only have an IP 'reverse to' one name. So... what would you recommend? Obviously I'll set up camdenfamily since it is the most important, but I'd want email from cflib to work as well. On

Correct because the PTR is tied to the IP address not the domain name. They can set it to whatever you want. I host all my servers at The Planet and I just sent them a ticket and told them I need IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to resolve to www.whatever.com on the PTR and they hooked me up. J.J. On 1/22/08,

Hey Ray... Actually the PTR would be on your IP addresses so the person who "owns" your IPs is the one that can change it. Essentially each IP address has a DNS server attached to them that resolves the PTR. I would say just contact your ISP and tell them you need a PTR setup for your P addresses.
