Re: Email Reverse DNS

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hi,

Thanks for your update.

Actually you should contact your external domain registrar, as some famous
email system just like AOL, YAHOO request DNS reverse lookup for any
inbound email.

Please make sure you register a PTR record for your MX record in other
words, it should be the external ip address on your Firewall.

Hope this helps, if anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Have a nice day!

Best Regards,

Chace Zhang (MSFT)
