Ask SORBS; Debian has nothing to do with SORBS.

Ask SORBS; Debian has nothing to do with SORBS.

I do not.  I have been careful to only send mail for myself and to not send
SPAM.

Ask SORBS; Debian has nothing to do with SORBS.

I would assume not though.  Checking to see if a PTR record exists is
probably faster than checking a DNSBL, so I wouldn't think any DNSBL would
be based on that.

>Should I write this PTR to DNS?

All IP addresses, especially those used for servers, should have a PTR
record, but very few things depend on that.

If you do have a PTR record, then it should be consistent.  That is, if you
start with an IPv4 address and then do IPv4 address -> PTR lookup -> domain
name -> A lookup -> IPv4 address(es), the resulting list should contain the
address you started with.  Same thing if you do IPv6 address -> PTR lookup -
> domain name -> AAAA lookup -> IPv6 address(es).  If it is inconsistent,
you might be grey- or black-listed by certain mail servers.
