The problem is that with Recursion enabled on a DNS server hosting domain is it allows IP forging for spammers. (From what I have read.) I have some pillock spammer forging my IP through this method. I have been told by my hosting company that I need to sort this out.
With recursion turned off it means the mail server won't work as it won't be able to look up non-local domains. So, I need to be able to restrict the facility of recursive lookups to the local IPs. I can't see any way to do that. -----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 October 2006 19:17 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Open DNS Server / Recursion Easy... don't disable recursive lookups. Without recursive lookups, your DNS server will only respond to queries about things that it knows... i.e. the dns entries hosted on your server. In order for it to resolve domains that it knows nothing about, it must go and do a recursive lookup using other dns servers.
