Hi, I'm having problems receiving mail a particular server. It's being logged as an ERDNS issue, but when I lookup the IP using the same DNS server xMail uses I get an answer, although not a configuration I've seen before, but maybe it's legal, I don't know all the RFCs. So I don't know if the problem is the way they have setup their RDNS or something else.
As I understand from what I can find in the docs smtp-rdnscheck just looks for the IP address having a record. Or is it looking for a PTR record on the first lookup with out recursion? Or is there something else it's doing? This is xMail 1.25 on Windows. Can anyone make sense of why the ERDNS is coming up? Here's an excerpt from the smtp log and what I get when I dig the IP address. "mx.xxxxxxxxx.com" "mx.xxxxxxxxxx.com" "207.162.214.242" "2009-08-12 15:20:21" "mx.soldoutdisciples.com" "" "[email protected]" "" "" "SNDRIP=ERD NS" "" "0" "" dig -x 207.162.214.242 ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> -x 207.162.214.242 ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 51 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 3, ADDITIONAL: 3 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;242.214.162.207.in-addr.arpa.
