Re: AOL rejecting mail from IP's w/o reverse DNS ?

AOL says the PTR record needs to be assigned. It doesn't specify it has to match the @domain.com in the MAIL FROM: header. Wouldn't it be enough to make sure every IP address you announce has a PTR and matching A record? Hasn't this been a requirement for MANY services for MANY years?

Requiring the PTR record to match the MAIL FROM: header would be horrific. There goes any hope of virtual hosting of mail accounts, i.e. one server with one ip handling multiple email domains. Adi
