Package: lists.debian.org
Severity: important
This is a bit old, but I couldn't find any report, and I don't know
whether this (rare?) problem is known and/or has been fixed...
I found the following in my mail archive:
Received: from bendel.debian.org (unknown
[IPv6:2001:41b8:202:deb:216:38ff:fe0e:1ca7])
by ioooi.vinc17.net (Postfix) with ESMTPS id C39A76CA
for <[email protected]>; Sun, 10 Feb 2013 18:29:47 +0100 (CET)
i.e. the IP address from which bendel.debian.org connected to my
mail server had no PTR record, and this is still the case for this
IP address:
$ host 2001:41b8:202:deb:216:38ff:fe0e:1ca7
Host 7.a.c.1.e.0.e.f.f.f.8.3.6.1.2.0.b.e.d.0.2.0.2.0.8.b.1.4.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa
not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
This could yield to loss of mail if the recipient uses rules such as
reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname (Postfix), which I intended
to use.
It seems that it is not the usual IPv6 address used by
bendel.debian.org. I'm wondering whether problems can still
occur in some occasions or this was just a temporary mistake...

the IP address changed, the reverse was moved to the new entry, thus you
see that NXDOMAIN for the old IP now.
Cheers,
