Reverse DNS required to send emails

bindemailpostfixreverse-dns

I run my own email server (postfix) and my own DNS servers (bind) on openSUSE 11.2. Lately I've found that I cannot send email to Comcast users, apparently because they cannot do a reverse DNS on my IP address. I do have PTR records set up correctly as far as I know.

I can do a reverse lookup from my local machine with no problem but if I try from outside my network it says the IP address doesn't exist. Is there something else I need to do besides setting up my PTR records to get this to work?

Reverse DNS entries have to be handled by your service provider. Most hosting companies will handle this in minutes via a helpdesk ticket or other support interface.
