I have a weird problem. 90% of the people can email me fine to my qmail
server. 10% of the people can't. The 10% of the people who can't get the
following error:
Reporting-MTA: dns;mail.tripperjones.com
Received-From-MTA: dns;jrichard
Arrival-Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 15:56:32 -0700
Final-Recipient: rfc822;[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Action: failed
Status: 5.0.0
Weird. I checked all the log files and no log file entries were entered in
as failed during the time he tried to email me. So it seems the email isn't
even GETTING to the qmail server. So I had the guy who couldn't email me
telnet into port 25 and send an email manually through telnet. It worked
fine. So I thought "hmmm, maybe this is some sort of weird DNS error". So I
my friend run a dslookup from his NT machine. HEre are the results:
D:\>nslookup -q=mx pcrush.com
*** Can't find server name for address 206.111.47.3: Non-existent domain
*** Can't find server name for address 206.111.47.4: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 206.111.47.3
Non-authoritative answer:
pcrush.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = 63.204.40.234
pcrush.com nameserver = dns-1.tricreations.com
pcrush.com nameserver = ns4.tricreations.com
pcrush.com nameserver = ns5.tricreations.com
dns-1.tricreations.com internet address = 216.205.16.110
Is this a problem with the DNS server or is this a problem with qmail?
