Naw, the PTR host name doesn't have to match the server name. As long as
a PTR exists for the sending mail server, that is usually sufficient.

So long as the reverse dns matches the server name it realy does not
matter. And that only matters if it is sending out bound as well. We
use short names to avoid phoneticly spelling out longer names to users
over the phone.
That being said a random string of characters for a name may well
increase the chances of mail being tagged as spam.

I've always went with the machine in the DMZ being called
MAIL.COMPANYNAME.COM, no matter what the servers "real" name is or what
it's function is, ie. mail forwarder, spamfilter, zix server, etc..

Hello All!
Does anyone think it is a good idea (or best practice for that matter)
to have your outside (DMZ) spam filter SMTP server have a name on the MX
record that doesn't allude to what it actually does. For example, let's
say I name the server SPAMFILTER and set my MX records accordingly, is
that a bad idea? Does it really make a difference, as the type of DNS
record it is tells people what the server is anyway? What are your
thoughts? What do you do for your organization? Does anyone from
Microsoft have any best practices on this?
Thanks!!
Rich
