If I were to guess you'd block my email as well. There are many providers
out there that will not set the rdns for you.
This server is located on a 56k dialup with a static IP, however, my
provider when asked about rdns gave me their dns server IPs.
I'd about wager to guess you'd also probably block mail from sourceforge. I
turned on helo verification for 15 minutes. I noticed it blocked all mail
on a mailing list I was on.
I EHLO as "animx.eu.org". The MX for animx.eu.org is animx.eu.org.
animx.eu.org A is 216.98.75.249. My IP is that. I honestly don't see a
problem. I feel so long as 1) the host's rdns is resolvable to a name and
back to the IP and 2) the DNS A of the helo points to the connectingIP.
(I'm sure someone who has his head up his... will say something else about
it).
Well, enough of that.. =)
