    Default Enable Reverse DNS Lookup

    My hosting provider is TCH, and I'm simply not getting the Anti-Spam assistance I need. Please consider adding Reverse DNS Lookup functionality, as this has been a standard feature in MS Exchange for many, many years.

    This would immediately eliminate forged headers that seem to be getting by SpamAssassin.

    Thanks!

    Default Re: Enable Reverse DNS Lookup

    Update/Correction/Clarification:

    I understand this feature is built into exim (whatever that is). However I'm on a "Shared Resource Server" which has RDNS turned OFF so as to not negatively affect other users... So I'm looking to enable Reverse DNS at the account level.

    This is not built into the version of exim Cpanel currently has in production which is half a decade old. DKIM and & SPF authentication upon receipt of mail is the best way to avoid spoofed email.

    But CPANEL hasn't made any forward progress on that either.

    I think discussion on this thread should continue since any requirement for a newer version of Exim will be met soon when we update to the latest version of Exim as part of version 11.32.

    Thats appreciated I guess. Unless we're waiting another year

    I can't do that David. We're scheduled to migrate off Cpanel in June when licensing is up. We won't renew if you guys aren't with the program.
