But many people hard-code bogons into bind, and if they are clueless
admins they don't update it...

The bogon list is published at
http://www.cymru.com/Documents/bogon-list.html

The question is - what piece of gear inserted the header (from the small
snippet we have seen, we don't know).  Since this is someone from
intersessions.com posting, my guess would be that he got a False
positive spam report from someone, and they handed the headers they
generated, and he's trying to figure out why it's unknown.  If the other
guys have their dns messed up because they haven't cleaned out bogons in
4 years, then it would show up as unknown.  

There have been some fairly major distros that were distributing stale
bogon lists in the bind package.  Mandriva, as an example, had a
6-year-old bogon list in their bind package until I opened a bug a year
ago (and they tried to close it as a WON'TFIX, but cooler heads
prevailed after a bit of thought...)

AFAIK SA doesn't go out and do it's own RDNS lookup for this. It trusts
your MTA's header (since it is a trusted host).

The MTA's header says the reverse DNS is "unknown". So, SA assumes it
failed lookup.

Might want to fix that first.

your _MTA_ decided to add a Received header with "unknown" as
the reverse DNS.

If uou don't like it, you can:
- use another MTA
- complain to the MTA vendor/developper/whomever

don't tell me you're still running qmail ;-p

Hi Benny:

Reverse DNS seems to work via dig and nslookup but the links, although 
indicating a problem, were not terribly helpful in explaining the cause. 
Apparently, you know more than I do. Perhaps you could reveal a little more 
info so we can get this straightened out. I would really appreciate it.

dig cronus.intersessions.com. @ns.intersessions.com. +short
74.220.16.65

dig -x 74.220.16.65 @ns.intersessions.com. +short
cronus.intersessions.com.

so there is PTR+A "match".

delegation of the PTR is OK:

If there is a problem somewhere resolving the PTR, it's not with your NSs.

OK, I'm going to have one more go. The RDNS_NONE rule is triggered by
the __RDNS_NONE rule above which is a regular expression. The header you
posted didn't match this rule so it's quite possible it has nothing to
do with the RDNS_NONE rule being triggered whatsoever.

Please post the full message headers.

Hi,

RDNS_NONE is defined by the following rules:

meta RDNS_NONE  (__RDNS_NONE && !__CGATE_RCVD)
header __RDNS_NONEX-Spam-Relays-Untrusted =~ /^[^\]]+ rdns= /
header __CGATE_RCVD   Received =~ /by \S+ \(CommuniGate Pro/

which means it was probably triggered by one of the headers you didn't
include.

rDNS problem

2008-11-21 Thread Jeff Koch


Hi All

Hopefully another pair of eyes can help find the reason for this rDNS 
error. Here's SA header message:


*  1.0 RDNS_NONE Delivered to trusted network by a host with no rDNS
Received: from unknown (HELO cronus.intersessions.com) (74.220.16.65)

As far as I can tell 'cronus.intersessions.com' has reverse setup and it 
matches 74.220.16.65.


What am I missing?
