RE: Reverse DNS - where is it?

Actually I was under the impression that a LOT of mail servers do a reverse 
lookup on you.  Spammers typically don't resolve, so they then think your mail 
is spam and it gets dropped.

I've never seen a mail server with that requirement. After all, what happens if 
you send mail on behalf of many different companies? Hell, not even AOL is that 
crazy.

However, it's possible that some service that Centennial uses has that IP block 
flagged as a dial-up block. I've seen lots of mail servers that won't accept 
from a dial-up block.
