In |one sentence you say you have no complaints about RoadRunner, then 2 |sentences later it appears your criticizing them because they don't have |DNS lookups set up for the public IP number you obtain from their |service. Or are you saying that they aren't supposed to have resolvable |IP numbers? Misunderstanding my point is my fault due to grammatical errors from not proofing that sentence. It should have read: Whatever. Ensuring that all IPs ever allocated to users have their very-own DNS name entry is not an important ISP service. [I'm being serious, not sarcastic.] I agree, cutting the spam is a useful goal (it annoys me too). But when honest users like me get locked out in the process, well, that's annoying too. But I've got a work-around now that I can live with. Thanks to all for confirming the problem and pointing the way to workable solutions.
