When a mail server receives a connection from a client, and wishes to check that client against a DNSBL (let's say, dnsbl.example.net), it does more or less the following: Take the client's IP address—say, 192.168.42.23—and reverse the order of octets, yielding 23.42.168.192.

Reverse DNS queries are used to map IP addresses to domain names. They are PTR queries for subdomains of in-addr.arpa (for IPv4 addresses) [ 3 ] and ip6.arpa (for IPv6 addresses). [ 4 ] For example, to find the domain name associated with the IP address 203.0.113.22, one would send a PTR query for 22.133.0.203.in-addr.arpa .
