yes i've been to that page.
i'm not sure how to set up a PTR record in the zone file as that is not an option in this particular control panel.
it's not one of the standard control panels.
give me vi and i would be good to go.
i haven't found a workaround for this.
can this be done with a TXT record?

the reverse DNS test provided by AOL and linked from your resource works - if i enter the IP address for the Exchange server it returns remote.example.com.
but my question is this:
is AOL looking for the IPV4 address of remote.example.com or is it looking for the IPV6 address of XXSRVR.xx.local?
and if the latter, how would that .local domain name resolve in the global scheme of things.
is this a mail server configuration issue?
