Reverse DNS entries
-------------------
For a mail system, it's higly recommended to set up reverse DNS as well. That means, if your hostname
``mail.mydomain.com`` resolves to ``a.b.c.d``, the IP ``a.b.c.d`` should also resolve back to the same hostname.
You can verify this with
.. code-block:: bash
nslookup a.b.c.d
Reverse DNS must be set up by the "owner" of the IP address which is usually your hosting provider. You can look it up with ``whois a.b.c.d`` in most cases.
With incorrect reverse DNS setup, most mail systems will reject you emails as spam.
