RE: [Pdns-users] Re: How Do SPF records work in PDNS? ( begionner)
Make sure your server has a host name. And make sure it is set up correctly. If your DNS name is mail.gateshosting.com, make sure your server name is mail, and your suffix is gateshosting.com for a full name of mail.gateshosting.com. Also just make sure you HAVE a dns record for that ip, and a rDns record for that ip. Here is a tool I use to check my mail server: www.dnsreport.com - Just check your domain name, like gateshosting.com and it will actually let you know if you have any errors in DNS. Also, I see in one of the headers, the ip address is 127.0.0.1. You probably should have a public ip address. Otherwise some servers will deny your connection. Hope this helps, Michael C.

Re: [Pdns-users] Re: How Do SPF records work in PDNS? ( begionner)
I thought PRT record is the same? or do i misundertand. Can you please explain the difference? and what must i do in my case? In my case several people do not get any mail, because there spamfilter blocks mail from our domains on our servers, due to Reverse or SPF settings . This is all i can understand, form the error messages. In my Power admin is no such thing as a SPF TYPE. only PRT / TXT etc.. I hope it is clear enough for you guys? Please let me know. thanks, Richard. Richard Vernooij wrote: I seem to have a problem that many messages from a webserver, or emailserver do not arrive on certain places.

Can you please explain the difference? and what must i do in my case? I am going to assume you mean PTR record. PTR's really only occur in .in-addr.arpa zones. They are for reverse DNS which is not SPF. Many sites do require *VALID* reverse DNS nowadays though, which is very different from SPF (which I'll get to in a moment). A *VALID* rDNS consists of a PTR in your providers .in-addr.arpa zone, as well as a matching A record that it points to (PTR means PoinTeR). SPF is simply a specially formatted TXT record associated with the sending domain which states which A, MX, or IP's can send mail on behalf of that domain. If you've got people denying mail because of no SPF record well you don't want to send mail to them anyway. SPF is seriously broken in the face of *many* everyday applications, including mailing lists, and remote dialup users. Now if you *have* an SPF record (which again is *NOT* a type of DNS record at all, it's a TXT record) and that SPF record is *wrong* I can see some net.kook's denying mail based on that. In my case several people do not get any mail, because there spamfilter blocks mail from our domains on our servers, due to Reverse or SPF settings . This is all i can understand, form the error messages. In my Power admin is no such thing as a SPF TYPE. only PRT / TXT etc.. I hope it is clear enough for you guys?
