"is a member of" isn't a useful description of relationships between IP addresses and domain names. You can say that an IP address "is a member of" a netblock. You can say that a domain name "is a subdomain" of another domain, and could regard that as a "membership" relation. The DNS is used to express relationships between IP addresses and domain names, but there are many types of relationship - like MX records, A records. "is a member of" sounds like it might mean "is owned by" or "is assigned to", but IP addresses are assigned to real world organisations, not domain names. There's no necessary relationship when sending SMTP, unfortunately. You could check whether the IP address and the domain name were assigned to the same organisation, but that often won't be possible. > > Vhlo mentions the following three ways to determine that, without > apparently resorting to heuristics.
