View 9 RepliesI have a PTR record and RDNS works for me but when i want sending email to this server : 62.152.169.25 error occurs and mail undelivery received.
qmail: 1403506829.587606 delivery 2978: failure: 62.152.169.25_does_not_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_550_Invalid_RDNS_entry_for_144.76.245.38/Giving_up_on_62.152.169.25./
I think this is related to rDNS.

If you take a look at URL above, the lookup for the IP leads to nsmx.net where as the lookup for nsmx.net leads to another IP.
The IP should resolve to host6.nsmx.net, how am i supposed to fix that?
i cant sent emails to Hotmail from my domains so make a Spam Database Lookup from dnsstuff for my main ip 72.249.101.164
here are the results
"72.249.101.164 has no reverse DNS entry; some mail servers may not accept your mail."
and i also not listed to any database.
Can someone check the and tell me if
- RDNS are ok
- and if this spam databases include Hotmai spam databases?
My hosting provider tell me that RDNS are ok and that Hotmail black listed the server IP
I have Comcast Business PRO Internet service for work purposes. I've got two web/dns servers and two mail servers, each having their own IP. These are all fine.
There had been a couple situations in the past where I would receive a "Relaying Denied" message from my PINE when sending mail out. At examination of the maillog, It's essentially telling me that these messages are being generated because of the lack of reverse DNS.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx-Oregon.hfc.comcastbusiness.net., instead of my.domain.com.
I did a couple searches on Google, and read somewhere that Comcast is unwilling to create rDNS entries, but they've not specified, so far, whether they subscribe to PRO or residential service.
Before I spend 90 minutes on the phone with Comcast, I thought I'd see if anybody here has been successful with rDNS and Comcast PRO before. It seems to me that by denying this, it defeats the purpose of the "dedicated" service that I signed up with ...
I was told by the data center NOC that I can manually handle rdns/ptr requests myself, as long I do the below.
Set up your name servers to respond to the reverse dns inquiries that we would forward to you.
Can anyone shed light on this? What if someone requests rdns on 32 IP's in one shot for example, how would you go about doing this?
I set rdns by contacting the dedicated server host. I am switching to a colo environment soon, do I still contact the ISP who issues the IPs for the rdns requests or can I set them myself somehow on my servers?
If I eventually get my own IPs through ARIN, how do I set rdns? Do I just get some script to set the PTR records on my own servers?
Im configured domainkey, spf and rdns exactly on my server, but my outgoing email to yahoo is spam too.
My sent email to yahoo (Header): ....
I have two ISP lines coming to my router which is connected to a Exchange mail server. Both ISP has given me dedicated IP addresses such as:
ISP1 = 217.105.25.94
ISP2 = 62.15.125.44
Now my ISP1 IP address has a reserve DNS set and when the mails are send via this line no problem, but my ISP2 IP does not have a reverse DNS so some mails are bouncing back due to the face the receiving mail server is checking the IP against the DNS.
How can I solve this issue, or normally who can set this rDNS?
Just got set up with a new VPS and while looking to see if my IPs were blacklisted, I came across a RDNS warning. I've been on some form of shared hosting since I've been on the Internet, so much of the VPS stuff is new to me (though it is managed). Everything I've read says that RDNS is important for sending mail so the receiving end can verify where mail is coming from, but I thought I would ask here regarding my specific issue.
I've got four IPs on my account. The first ip, x.x.x.67, is the host IP(ie host.example.com). Most of my domains are using that IP at the moment since I just got set up, but I do have another domain on the last IP in my account, x.x.x.70. When I first did a RDNS check on my main IP I got a domain that I've never seen before, and all other IPs on my account don't resolve at all.
I sent a ticket off to the host, and they set the RDNS record correctly for the main IP on my account, but the other three still fail to resolve. When I asked the host about it in a ticket, the response that I got was
Quote:
Normally, we set RDNS for the main IP address to hostname of the server.
The RDNS for your server has been setup properly. Please get back to us if you need any further assistance.
So basically I'm clueless. Does it matter that the other three IPs I have available don't resolve at all? The domain on the x.x.x.70 IP, which doesn't resolve, is an e-commerce site that depends almost exclusively on e-mail for its business. Doesn't the lack of RDNS resolution mean that I'll be out of luck sending mail to AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc etc on that account? Even though I don't have sites on the middle two IP addresses yet, I fully plan to put sites there within the next couple of months... could they have the same problem?
It's frustrating since I obviously have no control over RDNS records, and the host's staff is being a little obtuse about it.
my host won't do it for me, they said I have to do it myself... Is there anyway you guys can show me how to reverse dns in centos?

Now, how do I create the SOA record on a cPanel based server? I created a new zone, rdns.infinitetech.in and now what? I don't see SOA record option at all in the drop down list!
Unless I misunderstood what an SOA record is, I have no idea how to implement rDNS. Anyone?
If any RIPE NCC member/participant is available to answer this question directly it would be awesome! Others, give it your shot - I do understand that most of you are ARIN members/participants.
This is an issue I've been having for a few months now and haven't been able to resolve yet with my data center, AOL support and the company who manages the server for me. My main reason for posting this is for a fresh set of eyes and to see if anyone else has had a similar problem in the past (and how they fixed it)
The issue is this:
I set up a dedicated server to host my web design clients a few months back and no one has been able to send to or receive mail from AOL addresses. I've gone through everything at the postmaster.aol.com site and have ensured that reverse DNS records are in place for all IPs associated with the server, as rDNS is a mandatory requirement for AOL.
Once my support requested was finally elevated to a real AOL support tech, they confirmed that my IP was not being blocked by their servers and are still under the impression that the problem must be on my end somewhere. Because this problem only occurs with AOL (we can send/receive with all other big providers - yahoo, hotmail, gmail, hush, etc), my server management team are fairly certain it must be an issue on AOL's side.
When sending mail from an AOL address, it bounces back with an error like so (real emails replaced with example addresses):
451 <email@exampledomain.com>... exampledomain.com: Name server timeout
Message could not be delivered for 2 hours
Message will be deleted from queue
When sending mail from my server, it bounces back with an error like so:
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
exampleaddress@aol.com
retry timeout exceeded
When attempting to manually deliver a message to AOL from the Mail Queue in WHM, I get an error like so:
Message xxx-example-number is not frozen
delivering xxx-example-number

When attempting a manual telnet test from my server to AOL's mail server at , it also times out with the following:
Trying 64.12.137.184 (connection timed out)
Trying 205.188.156.248 (connection timed out)
Trying 205.188.159.57 (connection timed out)
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out
The AOL support tech explained that if my server IP were being blocked, it would return messages with a block error code instead of timing out. They suggested my firewall was blocking AOL's server....but both my data center and server management company said that isn't the case.
Because I can't duplicate this problem with anyone but AOL accounts, I don't know what else to troubleshoot or look for. I know AOL is notorious for blocking IPs and most email related problems are usually for lack of rDNS, but neither of those issues are the problem in this situation...so I don't know what else to try. My server management company (PSM) and AOL (once they finally elevated me to a real tech support person), have been very patient and helpful....but we still haven't been able to identify the problem and I feel incompetent for not being able to contribute on my own. I've researched for weeks and certainly understand more than I did, but still far less than they do.
AOL did direct me to a Windows Server troubleshooter relating to UDP packet size limitations with some firewalls that could cause MX query timeouts with AOL, Earthlink and Quest...but because I'm on an Apache server...I didn't know if that could be related at all to my issues (not to mention that I didn't even know what any of that meant until I went and looked up what a UDP packet actually was. I'm still not entirely sure I understand it). Even so, I did send the information to Platinum Server Management a short while ago, but haven't heard back yet.
Anyways.... in the meantime, I thought I'd check here in case anyone else had the same issue or saw something obvious we might not be considering.
My server details are as follows. I included my data center and management company details to illustrate that people far more qualified and intelligent than myself have performed the most common and obvious troubleshooters so far:
Pentium IV 2.8GHz /1GB DDRAM /120GB EIDE HDD
OS: CentOS 4.3
cPanel/WHM
Main Server IP: 66.79.163.138
Example Domain on the server: vedadesigns.net
Data Center: Dediwebhost.com (awesome service & fast support)
Initial Server Setup & Management: Platinum Server Management (I just can't say enough good things about these people)
I don't know much about technical details of mail servers. But i want to discuss a serious problem i am facing now. I have a reseller account with jodohost. I am not a reseller but i need this to host 20 of my own and client sites. During last few days no. of emails coming to us dropped almost 60% and suddenly i found that i was not getting emails from few of my clients. Then today i got a call from two of them and they said that all emails they were sending to me, were bouncing back.I asked them for a copy of bounced emails which they sent to my gmail account and i forwarded it to my jodohost support. This the response i got-
All of our mail servers have reverse DNS and mails are delivered. anyone not having rDNS is not able to mail much of the internet already, they really must talk to their system administrators and get reverse DNS setup.
Now they say that my clients do not have rdns at their mail servers and emails from them can not be delivered to my account.
Is rdns compulsory to send emails from a mail server these days?
But in that case i may not get emails from so many inquires?
i have a cpanel dedicated server.
I have a problem with a client whose mails are getting rejected because it fails rdns check, can any one tell me how to add this domain in Exim's whitelist so that the mail is sent/recieved even if rdns or any other checks fail.
Has anyone seen this before?

SMTP banner resolution problem.
if you have 2 server and a rDNS correctly set
1 for site
1 as mail server
Smtp banner is not resolved
"Reverse DNS do not match SMTP banner"
So mail goes in spam directly.
