Is there an RFC detailing that specific text strings must be used for static v. dynamic addresses? I can understanding keeping rDNS in sync, but that's not the issue here, is it? On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 11:57 AM, William Herrin <herrin-nanog () dirtside com>wrote:

By default or because it looks automatically generated? By default would seem to be a problem. Automatically generated, not so much. If you haven't made the effort to set up and secure a mail server then you shouldn't be talking smtp to the hosts mail-abuse.com is used to protect. If you haven't bothered to set the reverse DNS to match your server's name then you haven't made the effort, at least not with a modicum of competence. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
