Hi,
To day I got some e-mail back from some german free mail provider:

Quote
550 inconsistent or no DNS PTR record for 85.119.xxx.xxx (see RFC 1912 2.1)

While searching the web it seems that this one provider is the only mail provider (freenet.de) doing this check for incoming mail.

I remember me something about AOL is doing the same.

what do you say? adding this PTR record or not? (adding a record for maybe one of thousand e-mails)

this mail was send via some web application

Oh I see. You need to have a reverse DNS entry, otherwise many mail servers will reject your mail or even put you in black lists....

In that case you should use their mail server. They must have a standards compliant mail server for their clients.
