Thanks!  This is great news (which I hadn't received in any earlier mail).

Regarding the PTR records that CSV uses: These are NOT records in 
in-addr.arpa -- they are NOT reverse DNS records.
If set up on a bind server, they would go in a zone's zone file just 
like a typical A record for www.domain.dom.

I.e. (from http://www.jlc.net/MARID/CSV/FAQ.html):

    * */Q: How does a sender implement CSV? /*
      A: Add the SRV record at _client._smtp.<EHLO-domain> as described
      in [MARID-CSVCSA].

    * */Q: What does that look like in "bind" format? /*
      A: I advertise the DNS SRV as:

mailhost        IN      A       <MTA IP address>
                IN      PTR     _vouch._smtp.csv_vouch
_client._smtp.mailhost  SRV 1 2 0 mailhost

E.g.
dig mailhost.jlc.net PTR
returns
mailhost.jlc.net.       7200    IN      PTR     
_vouch._smtp.csv_vouch.jlc.net.
(and
dig _vouch._smtp.csv_vouch.jlc.net.
returns
_vouch._smtp.csv_vouch.jlc.net. 7200 IN A       206.183.134.28)

E.g.
nslookup -sil -type=PTR mailhost.jlc.net
returns
mailhost.jlc.net        name = _vouch._smtp.csv_vouch.jlc.net.



Let me know if I can help clarify things further.

On 3/8/2005 11:40 AM, Office of the President - GoDaddy sent forth 
electrons to convey:

Dear Mr. Elvey,

   Thank you for your email.  We apologize if you did not receive a response 
on an earlier email.  In regards to your comments about needing the ability 
to setup custom TXT records for email authentication, our new DNS Manager 
system does allow for the creation of both TXT and SPF records.  Due to the 
requirements to correctly setup reverse DNS, we do not allow for the creation 
of PTR records within our DNS management system.

   Please take a look at our new DNS system if you have not already, and let 
us know if you have any other suggestions for types of records that we should 
add, as we are always looking to upgrade the usability of our services.

Kindest Regards,

president(_at_)godaddy(_dot_)com

Hi.  I attended the FTC Email Authentication Summit, where I heard and
spoke with GoDaddy manager Mike Chadwick.
Mike suggested I email you about an issue with Email Authentication
   

and 
 

Go Daddy-registered domains.
Currently, even when 'Total DNS Control' is enabled, one cannot set up
   


 

records to comply with the leading
Email Authentication proposals - SPF and CSV.  Can you please remedy 
this ASAP?  Mike said

"Godaddy believes that customers need the ability to protect their
domains easily"

so please make this possible by making it possible to set up SPF and 
CSV
records (i.e. TXT, SRV and PTR records).

Thanks in advance!  And let me know if you have any questions about
what's needed or why.  I'm happy to clarify.

Matthew
