Description Shawn Pearce CLA 2009-12-16 12:33:42 EST 
The host egit.eclipse.org has no reverse DNS published.  The EGit project
sends email from this host via Gerrit Code Review.  Some mail servers are
rejecting our emails due to there being no reverse DNS record.

We either need a reverse DNS record published for this host, or we need a
different outgoing SMTP configuration so that we can relay to a different
SMTP host within the foundation's server pool that can email the majority
of servers on the Internet.

I'll get some reverse DNS in for you.  If you want, you can relay through mail.eclipse.org.

The ptr records are set up.
