I am having problems with certain ISP mailservers rejecting my mail
because :
550 5.7.1 Invalid host:
key.co.za - authoritative host not found:
The mail adminstrators say they have configured their mail servers as such
and that all domains must have valid forward and reverse lookups.
So they've said to "add an A record anyway to the mail domain"
They claim its an RFC requirement.
To my mind , the servers should do an MX lookup and do the A record
lookups on that host.
Is there any such RFC compliance requirement ?
Cheers
Peter Lockhart
