	Multiple PTR records are ignored or not supported at all by any 
application I know of.  They are technically legal, but if no 
application supports them, then it doesn't do you any good.

	You need to find a different solution to your problem.


	Oh, and please don't use "NOSPAM" garbage in your return address. 
The newsgroup you posted this message to is gatewayed to a mailing 
list, and having this garbage in your address is anti-social and 
makes it more difficult for people to reply to you with the kind of 
information you've requested.

	Moreover, all address scanning tools I know of are intelligent 
enough to remove all "NOSPAM" type tags I've ever seen, so it doesn't 
do any good anyway.
