Using MetaInfo MetaDNS v3.1 for DNS server software on NT4.0. Having problems sending email to some comanies. DNS report query found that there was no reverse dns entry showing for our mail server. Know very little about making changes in MetaInfo. Need feedback from someone familiar with software, and suggestions as to what steps I need to take, to fix this problem.

Thanks for the response. I talked with our ISP. They show that delegation has to forwarded to us. They tell me that the reverse dns entries will have to made on our end. Need input on making these entries in MetaInfo 3.1 dns software.

The thing is that even though you may be the SOA (Start of Authority) for your domain name, your ISP is probably the SOA for the IP addresses. When the world does a reverse DNS lookup, they are querying your ISP. Give them a call.
