Synopsis: It is important that a rDNS record (also known as PTR record) is setup for your IP address.More Information: An 'A' record resolves a HostName into an IP. For Example the 'A' record for mail.mailsite.com resolves to 216.34.131.10 A PTR records resolve IP addresses into hostnames. For example the PTR record for 216.34.131.10 resolves to mail.mailsite.com Some mailservers require that the sending server have a PTR record.
