result
Ptr records for 64.250.113.235 are: Server: 10.0.80.11 Address: 10.0.80.11#53
Non-authoritative answer: 235.113.250.64.in-addr.arpa name = notification.pokemoncraft.com.
Your hosting provider who owns the IP sets the PTR record for it. There is nothing to do in the DNS zone editor for your domain.
I have just done it. My hosting provider (digitalocean) automatically created PTR record when I named the host, it just needed to be the full name, ending with the domain. I added the IP in Godaddy's DNS editor. Now nslookup hostname and nslookup IP work just fine.
When I first called Godaddy support they tried to sell me "premium DNS". But unless they own the IP, they could not set the PTR record anyway.
(I know this is old thread but it does come up in google search)
To add a PTR record in the GoDaddy DNS Manager, you need to do the following:
A window will open with 4 tabs (Inbound, Outbound, The well hidden 'PTR' and Outsourced)
If you own the IP address space through your NIC organization, then you might need to provide the DNS services for PTR zones (those are inverted resolutions from IP to name). I can confirm, for LACNIC, that is the case, but it seems GoDaddy does not support creating those zones.
In reality, GoDaddy has a crappy DNS service. Not even their import tools work and is documented all over the web.
Consider using other services like Azure or AWS for such DNS zones.
And as Jan said, you might need to work with your ISP if they own the IP address segment. They are the ones providing those DNS services.
You could use a cloud system for a great price and trouble-free, that is perhaps the most professional approach.
A work-around if you're working from home is to setup your own DNS server. Look for containers in dockerhub, there are some well-made orchestrations of Postfix, dovecot, DNS and everything you need to get you up and running in minutes. It isn't difficult to change the DNS servers in GoDaddy, you don't even need to contact GoDaddy to get it done.
GoDaddy has the lamest excuse on their help page:
Reverse DNS can be used as a spam filter. Typically, spammers use invalid IP addresses, meaning they do not match domain names. A reverse DNS program looks up the IP address of an incoming message, and if a valid domain name is not found, the server blocks the message. Although reverse DNS is quite effective at filtering out spam, it often blocks valid emails as well.
We automatically configure reverse DNS for all of our email services. Due to IP ownership restrictions, we do not allow custom reverse DNS configurations for our services or products at this time. However, there are options to manage reverse DNS dedicated server offerings.
⚠ Note: Do not use a PTR record to configure reverse DNS on our system.
Apart from the DNS propagation time, it took me a few minutes to setup the containers from dockerhub and it works beautifully.
You need to setup an A record pointing notification.pokemoncraft.com to 64.250.113.235. This can be done from the GoDaddy hosting control panel under DNS.
