Gmail's servers keep kicking back my test emails from my VPS. I followed the support link in the 550 message, and it said that the reason for being blocked is that the sending IP didn't match the domain.
I just ran nslookup on my windows box at work and got the following result: C:\>nslookup 98.129.169.120 Server: [removed] Address: [removed] Name: robertstackhouse.com Address: 98.129.169.120 I'm kinda a newb at this MTA stuff. Can someone see if I did anything wonky from the message details below?
