  At this time - 1:00 P.M. Monday April 6 - all seems to be
  resolved. Adam has not only fixed the RDNS issue, but he has
  lobbied spamrats successfully for my removal from their blacklist.
  (The only one I was one).

  I should note that Adam's response was different from the original
  response that I got (on Friday) from MTASolutions. Which was as
  follows :
  """
  Unfortunately our sysadmin will not change our naming conventions
  for DNS forward and reverse lookups.
  """

  :) I guess Adam was off on Friday. He has my kudos and enduring
  thanks. If he gives me permission, I will be happy to put in a
  call to Les Helfrich or Greg Berberich, both of whom I know, for a
  personal commendation.

  So a little history might be fun to share, and I know that there
  are other on this list that could add their own bit. I'll put that
  on a different thread.
