What is the Reverse DNS Lookup?

Reverse DNS maps an IP address back to a hostname via PTR records. Mail servers almost always require correct reverse DNS (matching HELO/EHLO) or their email lands in spam folders. This tool resolves PTR records live so you can verify mail server and VPS configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why does reverse DNS matter for email?
