And look at what dnsreports.com says for authentic-alternatives.com WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). This probably won't cause any harm, but is a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. mx1.spunky.mail.dreamhost.com claims to be host straw.dreamhost.com [but that host is at 205.196.219.5, not 66.33.219.35]. mx3.spunky.mail.dreamhost.com claims to be host chopstick.dreamhost.com [but that host is at 64.111.107.12, not 66.33.219.42]. mx2.spunky.mail.dreamhost.com claims to be host spoon.dreamhost.com [but that host is at 66.33.219.19, not 66.33.219.36]. It's pretty clear that it's the same mismatch I was talking about, the A records for the names reported by the mail servers when you connect to port 25 don't point back to those servers. -- Rick DeNatale Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
