DNS — PTR record

Pointer record (reverse DNS)

The reverse of an A record: maps an IP address to a server name. It is set by the IP address owner, typically the server provider, not the domain owner.

Why it matters

Email servers check whether the name in the PTR record matches how the server identifies itself. A mismatch is one of the stronger spam indicators.

What's missing without it

Without a correct PTR record, email sent from your own server will be heavily filtered into spam, and some recipients may reject it outright during connection.

When it is used

When setting up your own email server or sending newsletters from a dedicated IP address.
