Your Linux VPS Hosting hosting comes with WHS/cpanel, and as far as I know it's default DNS template includes an A record for mail.domain.here. Is there any reason that a rDNS record isn't automatically set up for these mail servers (at the time of creation)?
I know I can request them added manually, but this might be a process easily available for automation..  |
rDNS has to be setup on the name servers which are responsible for the IP range. In this case it's eUKhost's nameservers. You will have to contact support to get the reverse record added, allow 48 hours for it all to propogate through the internet. When you say that an A record already exists, this is most likely to be on the
VPS Hosting itself, which won't be the authorative nameserver for the IP range.
Hope that helps.
