Reverse DNS checker

Receiving mail servers read the reverse name of the address your mail arrives from — and a name on its own means nothing, because whoever controls the address publishes whatever name they like. So the real test is the round trip: does that name resolve back to the same address? This runs both lookups and shows you the addresses it compared, so a failure tells you which half is missing.

IPv4 or IPv6, and it must be a public address — a private or internal one has no reverse DNS anyone else can see.
