I have just noticed (it may have been going on for a while, or always) that smtp.cesmail.net, fails a 'Reverse DNS' test.

Some of the sites I send to, add a very high spam score for this and/or reject the mail.

Is this normal?

Or can the records be updated to 'reverse DNS' works?

Thanks!!

In my testing, SpamCop does not use smtp.cesmail.net for outgoing messages.

The test I just did:

Received: from source ([216.154.195.49]) (using TLSv1) by exprod6mx261.postini.com ([64.18.5.10]) with SMTP; Thu, 17 Jul 2008 10:39:27 CDT

and

> 216.154.195.49
Server: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.1

Name: c60.cesmail.net
Address: 216.154.195.49

> c60.cesmail.net
Server: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: c60.cesmail.net
Address: 216.154.195.49

Where are you seeing a connection coming from smtp.cesmail.net?

BTW: I got the same outgoing server using both local SMTP to smtp.cesmail.net and sending from webmail.

Received: from c60.cesmail.net ([216.154.195.49])

That's what the delivery line in my headers looks like.

Yes, mine too...and it has proper reverse DNS.

\That was my point... we need more info from the OP.
