[email protected]: > Congrats. Ask your ISP for non-generic rDNS, in your domain, so I know > where to send the abuse reports. I did. "Reverse *what*?" Just to clue you in. They used to have the only two authoritative servers for their reverse zone sitting on the same LAN with the IP#s next to each other. Then that LAN goes out (happens from time to time) ther is *NO* rDNS, with the obvious "lame delegation" time-outs from servers I (as a customer of theirs) try to access. (In all fairness, I just checked my facts, and it seems as they have recently improved on that situation.) Like I said, I barely trust them to move bits to my box. > I don't mind at all.

The problem is that the world *won't let me* be a well functioning exception. My ISP won't let me have my own rDNS, and "you" won't let me use port 25 properly. > Because that's how things are today.
