That's a rather bad idea, and simply not workable for an *awful* lot of people. You *will* be rejecting legit mail with that methodology. Although many of us have our own domains, many of them will be hosted by a service which hosts hundreds or thousands of other sites using virtual named based hosting. We don't each get an IP, and it's completely impractical to expect that in an IPv4 world. The reverse IP will point to the host's domain name, not ours. You need to do *better* testing than simply forward and reverse checking of one domain name. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
