Attention Alif: RDNS is a bitch...
Interesting: although it triggered for the wrong reason, it did trigger appropriately - I do not accept generic rdns. You want to be seen as legit, you need to have fdns==rdns on your mx. Yes, I run extra-tight here, since (a) there's less than 700 users, (b) they are all free accounts, and therefore have to live at *my* tolerance level (it is good to be king :-), and (c) I don't believe email is all that important, and I'd rather toss real mail in error than allow crap in error. Sigh... Thanks for the heads up though :-) //Alif On Wed, 27 Oct 2004, R.A. Hettinga wrote:

Tell ya what. You send me (directly, I think. :-)) pointers to how to bash RDNS out of earthlink's hands and into mine, and I'll buy you a beer. I know, I know. You drink downstream beer... :-).

If that's your dns, I'll whitelist it. But I can also send you the requested info ;-)

Know what? I'm a pussy when it comes to beer! One 40oz and I'm ready for the hospital! Hard drugs are another story though <smirk>...

I saw the bounce, and found the line I missed. Try it one more time :-) -- Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org 0xBD4A95BF "An ill wind is stalking while evil stars whir and all the gold apples go bad to the core" S. Plath, Temper of Time

Earthlink gobbles balls like a twelve-year-old Thai hooker. Surprisingly, SBC was willing to delegate RDNS of my /29 to me. How's _that_ for unexpected? -- Riad S. Wahby rsw@jfet.org
