I don't agree with the policy of rejecting mail due to a lack of a reverse DNS entry. However, rfc-ignorant.org runs several nice blacklists, including ip-whois, which I subscribe to. This blacklist contains netblocks for which no valid whois information exists. So, for example, if your netblock whois (at whois.arin.net or whois.apnic.net or whatever) contains information that is not useful for contacting the netblock administrator, you'll be listed and I'll reject your mail. I believe this to be a much better policy than simply rejecting all mail received from a host with no PTR. Some of the other blacklists at rfc-ignorant.org are nice as well. The postmaster blacklist contains domains that don't have a working postmaster alias. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
