[xmail] DNSREPORT says Xmail violates RFC821 4.3 RFC2821 4.3.1
Davide, I just did a dnsreport on my domain, and it spat out he following warning: dnsreport output WARN:Mail server host name in greeting WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). This probably won't cause any harm, but is a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. mars.bigeagle.com.au claims to be non-existent host [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 220 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [XMail 1.20 ESMTP Server] service ready; Mon, 9 May 2005 14:45:29 +1000 /dnsreport output Now I assume it is complaining about: 220 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not saying something like: 220 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have an A record for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Can you explain: 1. did I misunderstand something?, if so, what? 2. if not, then why does Xmail appear to violate RFC821 4.3 and RFC2821 4.3.1 (according to dnsreport) Thanks, Rob :-) _ Signature: Live like you'll die tomorrow!

[xmail] Blocking direct delivery
Hello folks, Is there a way to make XMail to refuse connections from hosts without a reverse name or with reverse like 119.64-127.38.174.200.in-addr.arpa, that is most of time used by clients not by true mail servers? I would like to block direct delivery to reduce spam.

[xmail] Re: Blocking direct delivery
You should set up SMTP-RDNSCheck variable in server.tab in order to do that check.

Your server is configured incorrectly. server.tab should contain the following line: HeloDomain mars.bigeagle.com.au Also the @ symbol is not legal in a fully qualified domain name.

[xmail] Logging to.... Where?
Hi all. I've been trying in vain to find my xmail logs on my Fedora Core 3 box. I know that under *nix, Xmail logs via syslogd, but none of the messages end up matching mail.* and aren't in my catchall log file (*.*). Any ideas? Is there another message type that I'm missing (ie xmail.*) in syslog.conf? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance, Bryn - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe xmail in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line help in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The true is that I already set up SMTP-RDNSCheck, but it blocks only thosewho doesn't have any reverse. I need a set up that also blocks reverse that doesn't match the server name. - Mensagem Original De: xmail@xmailserver.org Para: xmail@xmailserver.org xmail@xmailserver.org Assunto: [xmail] Re: Blocking direct delivery Data: 09/05/05 09:22 You should set up SMTP-RDNSCheck variable in server.tab in order to do that check.
