My incoming email server was reporting the following error message in the App log : PTR record. <198.77.178.129> has a PTR record, but does not match HELO string <fw>, accepting anyway Ptrs = cerberus-service.aiim.org I verified the DNS settings for the TCP/IP protocol of my firewall that was sendign these emails to my mail server and found that the DNS hostname said FW while the domain was blank. I thus changed this to say Hostname: cerberus-service and domain: aiim.org I then rebooted the firewall However, my mail server still reports the same error. This time the error says: PTR record. <198.77.178.129> has a PTR record, but does not match HELO string <cerebus-service.aiim.org>, accepting anyway Ptrs = cerberus-service.aiim.org According to this message, the 2 PTR records do match then why am I still getting the error ? Please advise. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
