Hi I good tool to use for troubleshooting these kind of problems is www.mxtoolbox.com The PTR records should (mostly) be created by the ISP's and point IP -> name Let's say your send connector have a name called: mail.domain.com And you sending IP is: 1.1.1.1 Then the ISP should setup a PTR record for 1.1.1.1 and point it to mail.domain.com http://aplawrence.com/Blog/B961.html http://hosting.intermedia.net/support/kb/default.asp?id=1317 http://www.emailtalk.org/PTR.aspx Jonas Andersson MCTS: Microsoft Exchange Server 2007/2010 | MCITP: EMA 2007/2010 | MCSE/MCSA Blog: http://www.testlabs.se/blog

Hi, For the result of “nslookup>>type=ptr or MX>>domain.com” you can refer to these two links: How to Use Nslookup to Verify DNS Configuration http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997324(EXCHG.65).aspx Use Nslookup to find PTR or rDNS record http://www.mailserverblog.com/2009/03/use-nslookup-to-find-ptr-or-rdns-record.html Yes you also should create a PTR record for the parentdomain. You should create the PTR on the ISP DNS(86.51.X.X ISP). If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know.
