:-) I've been guilty of bad proof reading many times! It's that shoot
first ask questions later mentality that I have, gets me into trouble
all the time. I'm on your side, I'm a strong proponent of reverse DNS
and would love to enable it as a filter on my mail server but sadly I
think I would miss a lot of email that way.
I don't believe I'm on any black lists but that doesn't mean that the IP
block my servers are on isn't. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do
about that. Interestingly I just attempted to hit Verizon's mail server
using my domain and it's working now, so if they are blacklisting it
appears to be for a short time.
