COX SMTP servers now longer works for some internet connections.  It is throwing a CXDNS which means that it is blocking all addresses that cannot be reverse DNS lookup-ed, but some addresses cannot be DNS lookup-ed.  We have Frontier internet and address they give us does not have a DNS entry.  If I switch my Google Fi Android phone to the cellular network, the SMTP works (because the name is DNS resolveable).

I am having this same exact issue since 4/24 (CXDNS error due to no reverse DNS). This worked up until 4/24. Many external IP addresses do not have reverse DNS entries.

Shame on Cox for the lack of notice of these changes AND the lack of response.
