Question about reverse DNS
Hey everyone!
I’m currently setting up my own mail server, and I’m trying to configure reverse DNS so I don’t get flagged as spam by Gmail/Outlook.
My VPS provider keeps bouncing me around — first telling me to set the PTR record on my OVH DNS panel (where I bought the domain), then saying “nah actually, use Cloudflare instead”.
But as far as I know, reverse DNS is tied to the IP address, and only the IP owner (aka the VPS provider) can set it up.
Before I go back and explain that to him for the third time, could someone confirm that I’m not going crazy and that PTR records can't be set from OVH/Cloudflare DNS?
Appreciate any help
