Friends,
I wish to solve 2 matters
Who is your ISP?
1--
DNS does not match SMTP Banner
2--
a spf record
Try one of these
https://www.google.com/#q=spf+record+generator&safe=off If
you check out a couple of them, you'll begin to see how they
work. There is also a page with a legend telling you what all
of the entries mean.
---matter 1
I am now doing DNS for a domain at my isp ( twtelecom ) that I
am doing a mailserver
domain = theppsgroup.com
mailserver - mailhost.theppsgroup.com
168.215.62.222
the above machine is named sifter.pps-inc.com
but I have edited the
/var/qmail/control/smtpgreeting to read
mailhost.theppsgroup.com - Welcome Blah Blah
When I run http://mxtoolbox.com/
Domain Name:= theppsgroup.com
I get 7 warnings
1 is
Warning - Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner
my PTR reads
ptr= 222.62.215.168.in-addr-arpa. 86400 IN PTR
should my smtpgreeting to read
168.215.62.222 - Welcome Blah Blah
?
why do i still get thsi warning?
========================================================
matter 2
indeed I have no spf
and I would like to add a SPF & maybe a TXT
i am thinking my SPF would read
theppsgroup.com. IN SPF "v=spf1 a mx -all"
do you agree?
I am referencing the wisdom of
http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/SPF
Thanks much
once I get that Ironed out
reckon I will try TLS
