Re: [swinog] Swissonline mx problems?

Hi Rog

 Some of our customers would send e-mails to swissonline.ch
 answer:
 
 mx.hispeed.ch. - 62.2.95.11  [Could not connect: Got an unknown RCPT TO 
 response: 451 4.1.8 Possibly forged hostname for 69.2.200.182]
 
 Anyone got same answer?

Yes. It seems they are blocking mails with possibly forged hostnames.
Is this a method to blocking spam or is it against sobig.f?

My business mail server don't has this problem. The mails to hispeed
are going out.

Probably they are checking DNS records and if the name isn't found 
the sender will be blocked.

Any suggestion?


Gruss Adrian Senn

Hi Roger,

It seems that the dns reverse to forward check is failed.

 nslookup 69.2.200.182
182.200.2.69.in-addr.arpa   name = host182.69.2.200.maximumasp.com.

 nslookup host182.69.2.200.maximumasp.com.
** server can't find host182.69.2.200.maximumasp.com: NXDOMAIN


  mx.hispeed.ch. - 62.2.95.11  [Could not connect: Got an unknown RCPT
  TO response: 451 4.1.8 Possibly forged hostname for 69.2.200.182]

Cheers
Erich

Yes. It seems they are blocking mails with possibly forged hostnames.

I know other ways to block spam and sobig.

1. Remove MX entry  (like t-systems last friday)
2. Shut down mailserver

My business mail server don't has this problem. The mails to hispeed
are going out.
Probably they are checking DNS records and if the name isn't found 
the sender will be blocked.

yes, one of our customers had a problem because he had a other IP for 
the outgoing mail then the MX.
Fix reverse DNS for 195.134.153.38 or use your ISPs mail server

Any suggestion?

In RFC 1912:

For every IP address, there SHOULD be a matching PTR record in the 
in-addr.arpa domain.

that's the part I like most:

 Failure to have matching PTR and A records can cause loss of Internet
 services similar to not being registered in the DNS at all.
