<DIV>So we recently moved 100% of our Internet services to AT&T "IP Flex"
service. We're having an issue with Reverse DNS when trying to send emails
to some domains that do the rDNS lookup on each message because we don't have it
in place.<BR><BR>I've tried SPF, TXT, SRV, etc. - no dice.<BR><BR>Domain
registrar is currently Network Solutions.<BR><BR>AT&T won't create a PTR
record for me pointing back to my mail server unless they "host" the domain for
me, which I don't want to do for multiple reasons, including the downtime that
such a move would incur.<BR><BR>What can I do? Is a SmartHost an
option? I'm not familiar with them but am desparate now and ATT is not
being at all flexible.<BR><BR>-James<BR></DIV><!-- cg34.c4.mail.gq1.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Mon Jan 25 07:47:44 PST 2010 --></DIV></BODY></HTML>
