I've got a person that is supposed to be receiving email from me, but their server is currently rejecting it. I've been told their mail admin claims it is because I lack a PTR record on my domain, so their server is flagging it as spam.
A PTR Record is just a reverse DNS correct? (I looked it up to double check, and that is still my understanding). I do in fact have that set for my mail server. I do notice two things in the bounced email. 1: SIMS is claiming the domain to be my main domain, as it is set in the SIMS config. But the r-DNS is for the subdomain my mail server actually resides at. So based on the headers, the IP and the given domain are not an exact match. Should my "main domain" in SIMS in fact be the subdomain the server DNS is set to (ie: mail.domain.com vs domain.com). I'm trying to see what I can do to find the problem and resolve it on my end before reaching out to the other server admin. It took months to get them to even look at the issue, and I have to pass thru 3 different people to even try to find out who the other mail admin is (and there is a good chance I won't be able to talk to them directly... gotta love office policts!) Anyone have a clue? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
