Mail Servers and DIY

[Nathan Aubrey]

I have been noticing more and more mail servers in the world will not accept 
messages from my mail server. My mail server only accepts messages from the 
local network, has a static IP, and yesterday I got the reverse dns setup.

But is there something else that needs to be done so other mail servers will 
accept messages from me? Such as AOL? Juno? Some AT&T servers...

Is there a place to register a legitimate mail server or something? Or am I 
left to contact all these places and inform them my mail server is legit?
