Now : Reverse lookup :
linus:~ tim$ host 64.4.232.191
191.232.4.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
-----------------------
tjohnson.mtaonline.net.

Wham! You da man Adam!

I see two things from
http://www.spamrats.com/lookup.php?ip=64.4.232.191
1)The IP has now passed the reverse hostname naming convention test
2)The IP is still on the Worst Offender Alert, but that might take
some time to correct.

Perhaps I should get a new static IP and check back with you for
that same RDNS that you gave me for the old IP. I've had the old
one since 2002 or so....

thanks very much
