How can I set up reverse MX records?

June 15, 2015 2.4k views
DNS DigitalOcean

Hey!
I had to send an important email but i got aClient host rejected: cannot find your reverse hostname error. As far as I know, I need a PTR record to set the reversed DNS, but as I saw, those records are entered by DigitalOcean itself.
What should I do now?

Thanks!

    The PTR is set to the same value as the name of your droplet, if the IP resolves correctly.

    @gp+digitalocean As far as I can see, no PTR record is set. I also used some online tools to check... Is that possible?

    Once caches expire it should be good. I would like to confirm but you never stated the IP address or domain involved.

    OK!

Solved: I didn't realize that DO sets PTR records using the Droplet's name itself.
I just renamed my droplet to mydomain.com.
