Mail Servers and DIY

[Bryan O'Neal]

This happens to me when ever I move my public IP and for get to have my
ISP set up the RDNS pointer.  DNSstuff.com can show you what you resolve
to but your forward looking name to IP DNS entry must match the reverse
IP to DNS entry.  If your DNS provider is also your ISP they should do
it at the same time but if you ISP is not the same as your DNS provider
you will have to call them and make sure the owner of the IP block (Your
ISP) sets up the RDNS point to resolve to your name.

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?
