This setup is currently in a community run colo facility. I am not
sure they provide any sort of mail hosts for people to use. All the
IPs are for dedicated machines much like a typical colo facility so I
have no idea where I would even need to look. When I asked I was told
that PTR records wouldn't be available but that they would look into
it. This leaves me kind of high and dry. I either need to find a third
party smart hosting solution, or just plow forward with out PTRs and
hope for the best =/
