    Hey!

    Having some small trouble here that I can't figure out. I am sure that I am missing something, just not quite sure what it is. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

    I found out that I cannot send mail to ceratain recipients, AOL etc. I am not listed on SPEWS or anyother spam site.

    Here is the Error:

    SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<globalup@server9.mysite.net> SIZE=1725:
    host mx1.optonline.net [167.206.5.6]: 550 5.1.8 invalid/host-not-in-DNS return address not allowed

    SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:<dan@server9.mysite.net>:
    host mailin-01.mx.aol.com [64.12.138.57]: 550 REQUESTED ACTION NOT TAKEN:
    DNS FAILURE


    I have Reverse DNS added, but still get the same error. Can anyone tell me what it is?

    Thanks!

    Its not a reverse issue..

    $ host server9.mysite.net
    Host server9.mysite.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

    Shows no such hostname...

    and from the auth NS...
    $ host server9.mysite.net NS71.WORLDNIC.COM
    Using domain server:
    Name: NS71.WORLDNIC.COM
    Address: 216.168.225.211#53
    Aliases:

    Host server9.mysite.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

    You need to add entries into DNS for the hostname server9.mysite.net

    I have added it in. It's been added in since i got the server.

    Is there something wrong with the way the DNS is setup?

    first, mysite.net is the REAL domain? If it is, your Authoritive DNS servers are NOT publishing the zone. Do you have any other domains on that server?
    Whats in /etc/named.conf? Is the zone listed there? is worldnic.com on the same server as you?
    worldnic seems to be the delegated dns servers, but they are not you, that one seems to be owned by verisign. If you are doing the dns for mysite.net then you need t change the delegaton to your server and your dns servers.

    Not posting the real URL makes it VERY difficult...

    The way I read this, you don't have FORWARD dns for server9.mysite.net
    That would prevent your email from going through as well...

    Thanks!

    Okay, I found out that it works on some domains on my servers but not all of them... Could it be something serverside with the DNS entries? How can I check them?

    I had a similiar problem on about 21 cpanel servers. For some reason the resolver was messed up /etc/resolv.conf

    I have no explination on how these entries dissapeared, but it did. People could not send mail anywhere except locally.

    I simply went into cpanel and clicked on (I believe the resolver configuration link) at the top and re-added our resolver ip addresses.

    This absolutely fixed the problem.

    Sincerely,
