Hi, please how can i setup SMTP server whose emails wont be rejected by AOL, Gmail, Yahoo etc?
People say its imporatant to have reverse DNS
- AOL does require that all connecting Mail Transfer Agents have established reverse DNS, regardless of whether it matches the domain.
- Reverse DNS must be in the form of a fully-qualified domain name. Reverse DNS containing in-addr.arpa are not acceptable, as these are merely placeholders for a valid PTR record. Reverse DNS consisting of IP addresses are also not acceptable, as they do not correctly establish the relationship between domain and IP address.
