I need to set PTR record on my cloudflare account, because all outgoing mails are going to spam. I do not see ptr record in my cloudflare account. Can I use txt/srv record instead?

    What makes you think that'd work? Are you confusing SPF/DKIM records with PTR records? – ceejayoz Oct 27 '14 at 14:31

You have to ask your hosting provider to set up the PTR record for your server.

As PTR records are maintained by the entities owning the IP address blocks, they cannot be set up via forward DNS providers like Cloudflare.

    This answer is out-of-date as of March 1998, since PTR records can be delegated via RFC 2317. This is what most providers I've used to, so I actually need for my DNS server to support PTR records. – WhyNotHugo Aug 20 '16 at 13:57
