I am being too hopeful to expect mailservers to be configured correctly?
Yes, but mostly because you have a slightly odd idea of what is "correct". The DNS does not require that forward and reverse zones be managed by the same organisation, and so you can get disjoint management policies. Like many people, I run an SMTP server at home. My cable provider manages the reverse lookup zone and the likelihood that they will let me have my personal domain name loaded into it is so close to zero that I have never asked. Since I manage my own forward domain, it says whatever I want. Cheers -- Lloyd Parkes Senior Systems Programmer Open Systems Ph: +64 4 890 2437
