Did the dig and the domain does not have any txt entries. The domain is mail.hosting.com.sg. Installed spamdyke. I must say spamdyke is easy to install and a wonderful software. Thanks to everyone for suggesting it. The problem is still not solved. The server, hosting.com.sg, can send to others but not to us. I have bypassed the following, rblsmtp, clamav, no greetdelay, no greylist, no reverse dns, spamdyke is set with nothing and no tls. How I turned clamav of is by the following rule in tcprules. 203.123.11.18:allow,CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT="100",CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT="5",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue",NOP0FCHECK="1" Here is the log from spamdyke with log excess turned on. @4000000048cef8e503bf8e7c EXCESSIVE(process_config_file()@configuration.c:3594): set configuration option log-target from file /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf, line 64: stderr @4000000048cef8e503c504ec spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(process_config_file()@configuration.c:3594): set configuration option tls-level from file /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf, line 314: none @4000000048cef8e503c9eebc spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(do_spamdyke()@spamdyke.c:2212): found remote IP address in environment variable TCPREMOTEIP: 203.123.11.18 @4000000048cef8e503cb32f4 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(load_resolver_file()@search_fs.c:653): found nameserver at /etc/resolv.conf(1): 127.0.0.1 @4000000048cef8e503cba054 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(load_resolver_file()@search_fs.c:653): found nameserver at /etc/resolv.conf(2): 210.193.2.33 @4000000048cef8e503cbee74 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(load_resolver_file()@search_fs.c:653): found nameserver at /etc/resolv.conf(3): 210.193.2.35 @4000000048cef8e503cc8ab4 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_parse_servers()@dns.c:333): found nameserver: 127.0.0.1:53 @4000000048cef8e503ccf044 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_parse_servers()@dns.c:379): found nameserver: 210.193.2.33:53 @4000000048cef8e503cd4634 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_parse_servers()@dns.c:379): found nameserver: 210.193.2.35:53 @4000000048cef8e503d1ddfc spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_query()@dns.c:752): sending 44 byte query (ID 115/127) for 18.11.123.203.in-addr.arpa(PTR) to DNS server 127.0.0.1:53 (attempt 1) @4000000048cef8e503d2dbe4 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_query()@dns.c:752): sending 44 byte query (ID 116/127) for 18.11.123.203.in-addr.arpa(CNAME) to DNS server 127.0.0.1:53 (attempt 1) @4000000048cef8e503d5cdcc spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_query()@dns.c:815): received DNS packet: 77 bytes, ID 115/127 @4000000048cef8e503d6894c spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_query()@dns.c:852): received DNS response: PTR @4000000048cef8e503d6d76c spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(nihdns_ptr_lookup()@dns.c:1171): found PTR record for 18.11.123.203.in-addr.arpa (19 bytes): mail.hosting.com.sg @4000000048cef8e503d75854 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(do_spamdyke()@spamdyke.c:2292): environment variable found for local port: TCPLOCALPORT=25 @4000000048cef8e503d8081c spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(do_spamdyke()@spamdyke.c:2373): preparing to start child process: /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd @4000000048cef8e503f59e54 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(middleman()@spamdyke.c:1758): network input file descriptor 0 indicates EOF @4000000048cef8e503f5c564 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(middleman()@spamdyke.c:1914): child output file descriptor 5 closed @4000000048cef8e503f7d4bc spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(middleman()@spamdyke.c:1340): child input file descriptor 6 indicates EOF @4000000048cef8e503f855a4 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(middleman()@spamdyke.c:1341): child input file descriptor 6 closed @4000000048cef8e503f8bb34 spamdyke[31432]: EXCESSIVE(middleman()@spamdyke.c:1940): child process exited normally with return value 1 @4000000048cef8e503fce984 tcpserver: end 31432 status 0 @4000000048cef8e503fd2fd4 tcpserver: status: 13/100 What could be the problem?
