    Hello mark.

    (a) Convince comcastbusiness.net to put something into their
    nameserver to map 50.194.33.15 to os2bbs.org. Some ISPs will do
    this for you. Others will charge you for a static IP address but
    not follow through on the nameserver implications.

    (b) Configure Weasel to use a relay server as backup, to handle the
    mail that is rejected because of the reverse DNS lookup problem.

    I recently did exactly this with comcast.business.net for my sursum-corda.com domain and had them fix the PTR to reflect sursum-corda.com on lookup of 173.14.206.213. All it took was one call and 24 hours and my rDNS problem was solved.

    -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
    D:\DIG>host 173.14.206.213 8.8.8.8
    Using domain server:
    Name: 8.8.8.8
    Address: 8.8.8.8#53
    Aliases:

    213.206.14.173.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer sursum-corda.com. -o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-CUT-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

    Best regards,
