Reverse DNS issues for sending SMTP over ADSL

[Shaunus]

Hi Guys

I have always hosted my own email server using my 128k Diginet line from Telkom. Every now and again I get a bottle neck and am keen on using my ADSL line for outgoing mail. I have got this working with two network cards in the mailserver and all works well, except for the reverse DNS issues I get via the ADSL line ... I use DynDNS to map a DynDNS name to the dynamic IP address, but am not exactly sure what to do when it comes to the MX record (when you do a reverse DNS lookup, it shows Telkoms assigned domain name for that IP)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated in order not to look like a spammer via the ADSL line

Cheers
Shaun

For telkom you'll need to set your server to relay through smtp.saix.net
Proper way if you want to send directly off ADSL is to get a business dsl package with fixed IP, then you can request your own reverse dns.
