I have a problem with my parent zone (sf.ca.us), where they are running powerdns (they used to run bind), and this change seems to have resulted in my loss of email connectivity. It seems that an MX query to the sf.ca.us (parent zone) powerdns name server for wraith.sf.ca.us is returning "not found" and causing gmail (among others) to fail in email delivery.
I'm not sure I see a problem: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ dig mx wraith.sf.ca.us +short 512 smidge.wraith.sf.ca.us. http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=wraith.sf.ca.us. Now if you ask (a|b|c).auth-ns.sonic.net for the MX record you are right it does not answer with authoritative data, but then those servers are not authoritative for your zone; they are authoritative for the sf.ca.us zone, but then that's not the zone you are asking about. Your name servers (wraith.sf.ca.us and smidge.wraith.sf.ca.us) are the ones that should be answering authoritatively for that zone (and they are), so your parent zone's name servers must be delegating to you instead of answering authoritatively. Also from several hosts I am unable to query one of your name servers: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~ $ dig mx wraith.sf.ca.us @smidge.wraith.sf.ca.us ; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> mx wraith.sf.ca.us @smidge.wraith.sf.ca.us ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached -- Augie Schwer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://schwer.us Key fingerprint = 9815 AE19 AFD1 1FE7 5DEE 2AC3 CB99 2784 27B0 C072 _______________________________________________ Pdns-users mailing list Pdns-users@mailman.powerdns.com http://mailman.powerdns.com/mailman/listinfo/pdns-users
