Just a word of advice: Be careful with DNS...
Many ISPs (like AOL) are requiring reverse DNS to your server... they will
not accept mail from you if they cannot resolve to your domain. You might
want to check it out. Also, make sure that you are not an open relay... this
will blacklist you in almost every conceivable ISP and you will not be able
to use DNS at all.
