I quite like it, I might say. They could even double it up; check the IP for this DNS mark record but also have a: _send._smtp._srv.smtp-out.example.org. IN TXT "1" _send._smtp._srv.*.example.org. IN TXT "0" Then _send._smtp.<ip>.in-addr.arpa/ip6.arpa must be "1" _and_ the EHLO name must be "1" too, otherwise this hostname should not be used for sending mail either There is one minor problem though for folks who get a DSL line etc, but no control over the reverse though... as they are then locked-in by the ISP that controls their reverse. Then again, submission helps out here. Greets, Jeroen
