There are also a number of places that will host just your rDNS records. You'll still need to contact your IP address owner and have them delegate the rDNS to the 3rd party, tho.

The reverse lookup is set by the owner of the IP address. It is basically a lookup on the IP to see if it matches what your server is announcing itself as. Many of the first line support people at ISPs here the words "DNS" and tell you to go to your domain name registrar, because they don't understand the difference between conventional (forward) DNS which matches name to an IP address, and reverse DNS, which matches IP address to the name.

That explains it. I am in the process of moving our domain from Network Solutions to Register.com because NS refuses to support reverse MX lookup (PTR). Sigh.

You may contact your ISP and make sure that the reverse lookup record exists and is correct.
