Since it's trivial to set up smarthost arrangements for machines without working rDNS, I'm not sure why people make such a fuss. Look, don't get me wrong - I've run my own MX at the end of my adsl for years. But I have always carefully chosen ISPs that explictly allowed this sort of thing, and would set rDNS for me. If you're with comcast or verizon, and they won't set rDNS for you, then you shouldn't even bother trying to deliver mail directly - it will just be too unreliable. Smarthost through your ISPs relays, set up smarthosting through one of the millions of free services out there, whatever. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | Many are called, few are chosen.
