a reverse entry for your mail server, but if you're using a second SMTP server
to send the emails you also need a PTR entry for the public source IP address
that is sending the email message. So you may find that you really need
several reverse pointers based on firewall setup or if you're sending emails
from an ILS or other application located on a different server.

public e-mail server and require a reverse DNS entry (ptr record) in order to
send e-mails to AOL. It appears that we need this entry to be set by the
owner of the IP address range (Oplin). The IP address in question is
66.213.68.6.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
