Uh! Nope.

The one to "Tools to check your Reverse DNS setup" just takes you to iptools.com which is a charging site.

In reply to a post by RobertoS:
I have just discovered that a Reverse DNS lookup on my IP address reveals my Plusnet account username.

I have raised a ticket to have this prevented, as apparently it can be. I have also posted in the Feedback section of the Community forums. If you were not aware of this and it worries you, you may like to raise a ticket and reply to that post expressing your concern.


Well I raised a ticket on Sat Feb 2nd regarding this. Answered Mon 4th at 09:48hrs
saying it would be corrected within 24 hours, well as of 17:55hrs Tue 5th, still not
removed. I raised a follow up to my ticket this morning.

Not impressed.

More impressed. 19:44hrs, and my user name has now been removed from the reverse DNS
