Hello,

You may also want to verify the message isn't a false positive. Do you receive the same result from MXToolBox when temporarily disabling "Introduce a delay into the SMTP transaction for unknown hosts and messages detected as spam" in "WHM >> Exim Configuration Manager"?

Thank you.

No, I recommend leaving the option enabled since it's only leading to a false positive at the MXToolBox website. It's an issue with their website's test.

Thank you.

@pradeep kumar - it's best to make a new thread for maximum visibility of your issues.

I would recommend running "dig -x 1.2.3.4" to manually check the reverse DNS, where "1.2.3.4" is your server's IP address. This will show you what is configured for the reverse DNS for that IP, which normally maps back to the hostname of the server, as that shows up in all email headers.
