[CLUE-Tech] problems with your mail server

[Roy Johnston]

Hi Dan,
I'd love for you to set up the reverse for the server.
Dave & I have contacted ViaWest at least a 1/2 dozen times about setting it
up - or at least setting up a generic PTR for the spec - and we have been
told:
1. that it will be done today.
2. that their upstream does not allow them to delegate reverse DNS.
3. that it is already set up and I'm just not check it correctly.
4. that they had to lay off the DNS guy and the guys left can update DNS,
but not reverse.

....Roy

We reverse delegate classless blocks all the time.  Aside from that the
IP doesn't reverse, and it's a problem as we all try to deal with UCE
costs on our networks.  Anyway.  I'm not sure who techangle is, but I do
see that one of our list regulars is associated with the account.  I'll
take it up directly with the other Dave.
