Re: What is the Beijing Telecom smtp host?

Excuse me - but that IS NOT =anything= to do with SMTP protocol.

No reverse DNS - you are dodgy and do not know what you are doing and
are more likely to have a problem network/sever/business ethics.

It is a 100% fair and reasonable stance to take.

Cheers,
