I have a vps, I setup the nameservers last night I think. But here is the dns report for my domain name, although I just changed the domain to propigate from the old host to my vps using the name servers.
I want to know if the faluires are to do with the domain not being propageted completly to the new vps, or if they are a different problem.

Now that DNSReport is forcing logins/charging users for accounts does anyone know of any alternatives?
I can't seem to find anything remotely decent throughout my search engine hunts!
Ran a dnsreport on my domain, everything is ok except on thing:
Mail server host name in greeting
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record. domainconcern.com claims to be host server.host.com [but that host is at xxx.xxx.67.2 (may be cached), not xxx.xxx.67.3].
Is this normal? I mean, the domain is using a dedicated IP anyway.
One of my favorite web tools, dnsreport dot com, has gone pay only apparently
Is there any other service that is as close to advanced with the nice breakdown it does? Perhaps some tool I can install on one of my own servers?
I know the super skilled will says oh just run this, that and the other command line tool for the same info but I really liked the way they did it and how it explained the details.
I did an OS reload and I decided to setup my own nameservers. Previously I have my sites using everydns.net
Now I added the two nameservers I created to my Godaddy account (the nameservers that point to everydns are still there,) and they are updated.
I added the A records inside my zone to point to the ip address.
Dns report shows theseerrors:
AIL: You have one or more missing (stealth) nameservers. The followingnameserver(s) are listed (at your nameservers) as nameservers for yourdomain, but are not listed at the parent nameservers (therefore, theymay or may not get used, depending on whether your DNS servers returnthem in the authority section for other reques5.4.1). You need to make sure that these stealth nameservers areworking; if they are not responding, you may have serious problems! TheDNS Report will not query these servers, so you need to be very carefulthat they are working properly.
gogol.ithaki.net.
schubert.ithaki.net.
This islisted as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problemscan occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers andthe NS records point to your own domain, for example).
Your DNS servers leak stealth information in non-NS requests:
Stealth nameservers are leaked [gogol.ithaki.net.]!
Stealth nameservers are leaked [schubert.ithaki.net.]!
Thiscan cause some serious problems (especially if there is a TTLdiscrepancy). If you must have stealth NS records (NS records listed atthe authoritative DNS servers, but not the parent DNS servers), youshould make sure that your DNS server does not leak the stealth NSrecords in response to other queries.
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
server.ithaki.net: Timed out [Last data sent: [Did not connect]]
Ifthis is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case butyou will need to use testing tools specifically designed for suchsituations to be certain.
I run a DNSReport.com test for my domain name and it failed on "Mail" section with this error message:
HTML Code:
ERROR: I could not complete a connection to any of your mailservers!
my-domain.com: Timed out [Last data sent: RCPT TO: ]
If this is a timeout problem, note that the DNS report only waits about 40 seconds for responses, so your mail *may* work fine in this case but you will need to use testing tools specifically designed for such situations to be certain.
also on DNSReport.com mail test, got this error message:
HTML Code:
my-domain.com. - xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [Could not connect: Could not receive data: Operation timed out.]
[Note that if your mailserver takes over 30 seconds to respond, our test will timeout, even though real mailservers will wait longer] what makes my server failed on this test?
