Hi,

dig -t A 99.140.153.78.rep.mailspike.net

This results in NXDMAIN, indicating that there is no current listing for the ip address. There is no requirement in DNS that says that 'rep.mailspike.net' should be resolvable.

The mailspike nameservers are at:

dig -t NS mailspike.net

As to why the websites says it is listed, I don't know. Maybe the DNS zones are out of date, or the database is, or it's a split brain situation, or .... . Only the mailspike admins will know.

Kind regards,
Tom

I wonder how it works for real, since mailspike.net itself fails DNS resolution.

suree, but nobody is using "rep.mailspike.net" since MSPIKE is part of
the default rules

Hello,

Is rep.mailspike.net working for you?

If I query 78.153.140.99 at https://mailspike.io/ip_verify I get 127.0.0.11, 
however if I query using dig I get no answer at all, and the name server itself 
does not exist.
