Re: [iMS] Bounce Processing

[DGo 754-234-4158]

I finally got my domain configured correctly (I think) with two IMS servers. Here are results of the mail reports:   INFO MX Record Your 2 MX records are: 5 smtp.dgomail.com. [TTL=43200] IP=69.41.171.120 [TTL=600] [US] 10 post1.dgomail.com. [TTL=43200] IP=69.41.170.245 [TTL=600] [US] PASS Invalid characters OK. All of your MX records appear to use valid hostnames, without any invalid characters. PASS All MX IPs public OK. All of your MX records appear to use public IPs. If there were any private IPs, they would not be reachable, causing slight mail delays, extra resource usage, and possibly bounced mail. PASS MX records are not CNAMEs OK. Looking up your MX record did not just return a CNAME. If an MX record query returns a CNAME, extra processing is required, and some mail servers may not be able to handle it. PASS MX A lookups have no CNAMEs OK. There appear to be no CNAMEs returned for A records lookups from your MX records (CNAMEs are prohibited in MX records, according to RFC974, RFC1034 3.6.2, RFC1912 2.4, and RFC2181 10.3). PASS MX is host name, not IP OK. All of your MX records are host names (as opposed to IP addresses, which are not allowed in MX records). PASS Multiple MX records OK. You have multiple MX records. This means that if one is down or unreachable, the other(s) will be able to accept mail for you. PASS Duplicate MX records OK. You do not have any duplicate MX records (pointing to the same IP). Although technically valid, duplicate MX records can cause a lot of confusion, and waste resources. PASS Reverse DNS entries for MX records OK. The IPs of all of your mail server(s) have reverse DNS (PTR) entries. RFC1912 2.1 says you should have a reverse DNS for all your mail servers. It is strongly urged that you have them, as many mailservers will not accept mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry. The reverse DNS entries are: 120.171.41.69.in-addr.arpa smtp.dgomail.COM. [TTL=600] 245.170.41.69.in-addr.arpa post1.dgomail.com. [TTL=600] Mail PASS Connect to mail servers OK: I was able to connect to all of your mailservers. PASS Mail server host name in greeting OK: All of your mailservers have their host name in the greeting: smtp.dgomail.com: 220-DavidGoldfield inFusion Mail Server Plus v2.6.1 SN21919182-7447 ESMTP ready at Wed, 14 Apr 2004 19:36:21 -0400 220 smtp.dgomail.com post1.dgomail.com: 220 post1.dgomail.com PASS Acceptance of NULL <> sender OK: All of your mailservers accept mail from "<>". You are required (RFC1123 5.2.9) to receive this type of mail (which includes reject/bounce messages and return receipts). PASS Acceptance of postmaster address OK: All of your mailservers accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (as required by RFC822 6.3, RFC1123 5.2.7, and RFC2821 4.5.1). PASS Acceptance of abuse address OK: All of your mailservers accept mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PASS Acceptance of domain literals OK: All of your mailservers accept mail in the domain literal format ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). PASS Open relay test OK: All of your mailservers appear to be closed to relaying. This is not a thorough check, you can get a thorough one here. smtp.dgomail.com OK: 550 Unknown user post1.dgomail.com OK: 550 Unknown user       Now I am going work on getting the warnings out of the logs and bounce processing set up.   Regards, DGo - ---- Original Message -----   From: Chris Jenkins To: inFusion Support List Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 6:21 PM Subject: RE: [iMS] Bounce Processing That is correct.   From: Gordon Burns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 4:39 PM To: inFusion Support List Subject: RE: [iMS] Bounce Processing   At 21:41 13/04/2004 Chris Jenkins said.... I only have one set of templates in the domains folders.  No subfolders are used.  So I m still searching for answers. OK I did say it was probably a red herring.. Lets see what Howie finds when they do some testing . You asay it only fails when the MX lookup fails?  so If the lookup is OK and it tries to deliver but gets bounced it parses the token OK and you cxan process This list server is Powered by iMS "The Swiss Army Knife of Mail Servers" This list is provided as a free service.
