Part of the problem is, that the A record for my host
(auntie.zhrodague.net) does not match it's reverse entry (blah
blah.comcast.net).

That's the other problem. So, about half of the places I email
won't accept it, in which case I use my hotmail account.
Too bad candidate.zhrodague.net isn't up, she used to be my
secondary host that I would relay mail from -- that isn't on a dynamic
range. I haven't been able to get ahold of the owner of the office, tho,
she went down a bunch of months ago...
