I've been getting hammered by spam so tried a few things, rDNS checks being one of them. Unfortunately, the mail server checks the rDNS for the host (mail.pearsoncomputing.net), the domain alone is not sufficient ( See results from 'mxtoolbox.com' - Your Reverse DNS Record (PTR) is not a valid host name. According to email sending best practices, a PTR Record should be a valid host name. If the PTR Record is not a valid hostname, there is a likelihood that you will experience email delivery issues with anti-spam services.) I added an exception for pearsoncomputing.net but the rDNS check was rejecting other valid mail too so I've removed it. > The TDE servers are still in a bad physical location for Internet access, > on top of residing in the United States where high speed Internet access > is typically much harder to obtain than the rest of the world.
