Yes, I just had configured a server today which happens to receive mail from some Austrian government and hospitals, several(!) of them not having RDNS. I fixed it quickly, but will send a complaint to ALL of their postmasters, as well as the office@ addresses to put some fire under the postmasters asses - because I know Austrian postmasters don't happen to react if it's not their boss kicking them.. too bad. > I think it will take a while until there are few enough misconfigured > servers that this becomes safe enough to be the norm.

I guess the best is to turn on the tests, and if some e-mail is rejected, tell them "what? your servers are not configured correctly?" - if the correct persons hear this (a boss who is not in IT), it will be fixed very quickly. mfg zmi -- // Michael Monnerie, Ing.BSc ----- http://it-management.at // Tel: 0660/4156531 .network.your.ideas. // PGP Key: "lynx -source http://zmi.at/zmi3.asc | gpg --import" // Fingerprint: 44A3 C1EC B71E C71A B4C2 9AA6 C818 847C 55CB A4EE // Keyserver: www.keyserver.net Key-ID: 0x55CBA4EE
