Hi Robert, i really appreciate the introduction of STARTTLS measurements! But if you do so, i strongly recommend to also introduce four new System Tags: IPv4 FCrDNS working IPv4 FCrDNS not working IPv6 FCrDNS working IPv6 FCrDNS not working A lot of mailservers will block or cancel inbound connections, if the sending server has no Forward-confirmed reverse DNS record. Some mailservers do this immediately, others do it at a later communication stage. So, when someone would create a new STARTTLS measurement, it would be a huge help to be able to only choose probes, which have FCrDNS. It shouldn't matter, if it's a simple or obfuscated DNS record. Please also take into consideration, to make FCrDNS mandatory for (new) anchors. BR, Simon On 14.12.22 15:04, Robert Kisteleki wrote:
