I have a problem with this ptr record thing.
I have setup my first ever server and first time ever seeing direct admin.
I followed site-helper.com pretty much to the letter and at first everything seemed fine.
site-helper didnt really give much detail on ptr record,,,it showed an example that was simple enough but not where to put it. Do I put it inside the domains dns records, there is a ptr line there(which is what I originally did) but it clearly didnt work as now I get most emails returned for reverse dns not found.
I tried making a domain,ip#,ns1,ns2 entry and checking the box for making a reverse lookup which didnt seem to help either.
I am stumped and really need help, I have almost 400 members on my site and cant send email to almost half of them.
I dont know just what info I should or should not put here so will wait and hope some kind and knowledgable person can tell me what I can do.
