Hi,
I have been trying to make email hosting work correctly

Mail Server is working fine. Although, I cannot create PTR record for my domain name.
I did digg and found
in-addr.arpa. 1799 IN SOA b.in-addr-servers.arpa. nstld.iana.org. 2015074238 1800 900 604800 3600

So, I am pretty sure that mails will end up in spam folder or email will not be accept by email provider like gmail.

Any help?
I am using 1and1

Hello There;

The PTR record needs to be created on your service provider's side of the equation, particularly if you are running a virtual server. I do not have experience with 1and1 but contacting them should yield a solution.
