iMS POST 2.1.8 beta is now available for download and testing. This version adds loopback protection to the POST Server for improperly configured MX records. Here's an example of a domain with an improper MX configuration:
Domain: Leading.net Answer Section: leading.net, MX, 10, null.leading.net Authority Records Section: leading.net, NS, ns1.fdn.com leading.net, NS, ns2.fdn.com Additional Records Section: null.leading.net, A, 127.0.0.100 ns1.fdn.com, A, 216.199.0.131 ns2.fdn.com, A, 216.199.54.11 --- As you can see, their MX points to null.leading.net which, in turn, is defined as a loopback address. For a domain such as this the POST Server should not attempt to deliver the mail to the designated server as it will result in a local loop. POST Server 2.1.8 addresses this problem and will print out an error in the log file for this domain as follows: 13:27:11 [001] WARNING: reject null.leading.net for loopback. We have this version of the POST Server now running on our main mail server. Once it has been running OK for a day or so we will remove the "beta" designation an release 2.1.8 officially.
