submitting a port

[Hay, Russell]

Well that's just it.. it USED to have reverse DNS.  Just this month, for
some reason, they took it away.  Of course, previously, their name servers
weren't exactly the best in the world anyway.. and for a big company, they
sure do have many problems..

Again, too much abuse.

My mailserver whines a lot about no reverse DNS.  Why can't the ISP in 
question
just put up generic forward/reverse on their dynamic IP's?

We (Internet America, Inc/Dallas, TX US/My Employer) do.
