Correct setting for ipv6 reverse dns

email

Trying to set my rdns so gmail will accept emails, but when I try the wizard here:

https://manager.linode.com/linodes/rdns … Domain.com">https://manager.linode.com/linodes/rdns_lookup/MyDomain.com

… it cannot find anything (at MyDomain.com or host.MyDomain.com )

Is this correct?

You need to have AAAA records on the name you're using for the reverse DNS process to offer to set the reverse DNS. Note that your reverse DNS should match your HELO name (which is your fully qualified domain name; see 'hostname -f' on your Linode; if it doesn't have at least 3 parts (4 if your TLD is 2 parts), it's not set correctly)
