mouss,

I have two problems: one is spam getting through, and the other is
some outgoing mail getting blocked and returned. I have implemented
some smtpd restrictions to help with the first problem, though it
seems never enough. And the second problem is a rare occurrence which
seemed to have come up today again. If someone or some spam/DNSBL list
thinks I have a badly configured server then I'd like to fix it.

And, as far I can tell I only have one PTR record. The PTR record,
reverse DNS, is maintained by my ISP who controls the IP block.

:)
