Guys - it has been over a week. It's no longer the Easter weekend. Can
we move on this please? Not only is it impacting forum registration
there are people we can't email using our official email accounts.

I don't know whether emailing someone directly (Roland?) would make any
difference but whoever it is should already be subscribed to this
mailing list.

The fix is trivial:

1) log in to https://robot.your-server.de/
2) locate the server
3) set the reverse DNS entry (rDNS/PTR)

"(menu item "Server" -> click on the server -> "IPs" -> click on the
text field at right next to the desired IP address)" [1]
