I’ve come to realize this today.

I don’t know how to set this up. I am not using this domain for outgoing email, I gave up on that, it just gets blacklisted for no reason, I think the mail world can sense and frowns upon people like me who have their own mail servers not set up fully, or running under NO-IP, having a raw SMTP sending engine without all the trimmings. Perhaps if I set this up I wouldn’t get blacklisted but I don’t know how. What is this reverse pointer otherwise called, like it is a SPF or DKIM record.. is there a name other than reverse pointer? Because with "RECORDS" I have a way to add those, at the NO-IP site.. they add them to my DNS records…

I should not have to, since I am only receiving on this mail server. As above stated. DNS is working as proven by the fact that my website is being served to the WWW … ie.. when you type my name address you get my site.. DNS is working. MX records, since they don’t contain IP addresses, should not need to be reworked if you moved and changed nothing.
