The host I send from:
rlpowell@stodi> host mail.digitalkingdom.org
mail.digitalkingdom.org is an alias for dk-mail.digitalkingdom.org.
dk-mail.digitalkingdom.org is an alias for stodi.digitalkingdom.org.
stodi.digitalkingdom.org has address 173.13.139.236
rlpowell@stodi> host 173.13.139.236
236.139.13.173.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mail.digitalkingdom.org.
People have noted that digitalkingdom.org, which is what's after the
@ in my personal emails at least, *does* come back generic; I don't
know how much that matters?
Regardless, I'd like to defer the job of managing email with the
more strict ISPs to someone eles, if that's possible; it just keeps
being more and more work.
