My domain name (bisapi.com) is hosted as a virtual domain by the server server653.gisol.com.
adolfobello # host bisapi.com bisapi.com has address 64.246.18.79 .... adolfobello # host 64.246.18.79 79.18.246.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer server653.gisol.com. Mandrake list does not check that the name/ip match because it if would then my mails were rejected and they are not. As those from any other virtual domain. I think that Mandrake list checks the servername/ip no matter the domain from which the mail is sent. Something like this: 1.- [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends (smtp) to bisapi.com(64.246.18.79) impersonated by server653.gisol.com 2.- server653.gisol.com (64.246.18.79) tries to deliver mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is served by smtp.mandrake.com 3.- smtp.mandrake.com makes a reverse lookup on 64.246.18.79, gets server653.gisol.com and receives the mail form [EMAIL PROTECTED] If at point 3, the reverse lookup don't yield the name of the server that is trying to send the mail, then it rejects it. Mu question would be: is Hosting-132-17.PHPWebHosting.Com (64.72.132.17) the server name trying to deliver the mail? A lookup of the server results in a "no host found" response. adolfobello # host Hosting-132-17.PHPWebHosting.Com Host Hosting-132-17.PHPWebHosting.Com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) In any case, these people have a problem with their DNS setup. A name in the arpa zone with no CNAME or A register associated in the direct zone. > > Perhaps you can tell me if they are all wet and this can be fixed with changes > to the DNS entries. > - -- > Greg > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQE+RnEAwDpHP6GALAARAon7AJ9MeKI5qMMCqSaTX1vj4YWTaOOfNgCePeM8 > 5bT9BiCtYxbdf6iGN5n0dAo= > =2XSh > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com -- __ / \\ @ __ __ @ Adolfo Bello <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> / // // /\ / \\ // \ // Bello Ingenieria S.A, ICQ: 65910258 / \\ // / \\ / // // / // cel: +58 416 609-6213 /___// // / <_/ \__\\ //__/ // fax: +58 212 952-6797 www.bisapi.com // pager: www.tun-tun.com (# 609-6213)
