>Description:
	The DNS IN-ADDR.ARPA PTR records for {gnats,mail}.netbsd.org
	are not set up, or not available. Some systems will not accept
	E-mail from systems without IN-ADDR PTR records, principally as
	an anti-spam measure. Appropriate DNS RR's should be put into
	the appropriate zone file ASAP.

	Ideally, this PTR record should also match the associated A RR.
