We are also one of those services that will reject mail if DNS records don't line up sufficiently to a) satisfy RFC requirements for DNS and b) are clearly mismatched with your DNS A/MX/PTR/SPF and who you pretend to be in HELO/EHLO
Those two simple rules block more than 92% of incoming spam attempts. "generics" tend to fall into that pit nearly 100% of the time. If your DNS can simply say in MX/SPF that you are legit, you easily avoid that pit. Blocking the majority of spam is really easy if we simply require adherence to what is actually mandated in RFC and a pinch of sensible thinking about DNS. -d On 2015-09-11 14:33, Lightner, Jeff wrote: > Actually some mail servers DO check not only that a PTR exists but also that > it is not "generic". > > Every once in a while we get someone complaining because one of the big sites > (Ebay?) refuses to accept their email due the "generic" (as defined by that > site's policies) nature of our PTR.
