color:black'>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>
