The spam logs don't say much more than that it failed. But like I said, on the same mail server if I run a reverse lookup from the command prompt it works fine, every single time. Same thing from the DNS server. And this isn't a transient thing-- it seems to happen to tons of "known good" domains. I can only turn it on for a few minutes before I need to turn it off again. And yes, all the regular DNS lookups that iMail does seem to work fine-- we have a small queue and don't see issues in our sys logs...
This is one example from a single sender who tried sending us a bunch of emails over the past two days, and all were filtered despite the fact that the PTRs are there and reverse lookups seem to work fine from within Windows. I'm stumped. 12:10 10:04 SMTPD(c8ea47b000a2e1d0) [00002796] <mail.XXX.com> VALIDATION: (REVDNS) mail.XXXX.com FAILED reverse DNS validation for address (65.32.5.135) ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "E.

This seems to have started after we deployed 8.14 last week, but I'm not sure. We've used revlookups for many months previous to that and didn't seem to have a problem with reverse lookups failing on IPs that do indeed have PTRs. > > Thanks, and Happy Holidays! > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ > To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
