I enter: nslookup 218.111.104.105

Results:

Server: cns3.tm.net.my
Address: 202.188.0.133

Name: 111.218.in-addr.arpa.tm.net.my
Address: 218.111.104.105


What is the meaning of the line "Name" ?

Thanks.

It's the "N" in FQDN.

It means the idiots who set up the zone file at dnsteam.tm.net.my have
a wild-card entry for a number of hosts - if you try others in the range
218.111.104.* (random tries between 218.111.77.123 and 218.111.127.123
tested at 03:00 UTC) you get the same answer. Alternatively, some klown
wrote a script to create the reverse zone file, intending each address
to have the 'in-addr.arpa name prepending (in front of) the tm.net.my
domain name, and didn't bother to check the results. In either case,
it's a good demonstration of a lack of skill and failing to check their
work.

As you are posting from this domain, you might pass the word to the
domain admin that his work is defective. This type of "generic" PTR
record will prevent reception of mail at many mail servers, but then
it's tm.net.my, and that has it's own problems with blacklists.

Do you have some kind of statistical evidence to demonstrate these
"dramatically reduced" chances?

Many of us simply killfile posts containing "Message-ID: googlegroups.com"
due to the immense amount of spam and other abuse originating there.
