Reverse DNS entries for MX records

[Skysaber]

Has anyone else ever run any of their domains through www.dnsreport.com and Failed for Reverse DNS entries for MX records and Failing to connect to Mail servers? Is this an error I have made or a WHM issue? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Revers DNS entries are made by the datacenter for your server.

I having the same problem, and
I used dnsreport to check my domains.

I think it has nothing to do with reverse Lookup at the datacenter.

I have two servers and only have the
problem with the one using WHM.

Maybe somebody else has more info,
on this problem.

have you double checked the entry at the mentioned link @ dnsstuff as it could of been a dns timed out issue, or alternatively check the reverse dns deegation chain from arin/ripe/etc whichever is correct for your ip ? it is entirely possible for one 1 ip to have rdns entry and another not

Getting groggy and a bit of a newbie here, but what I did was make the mail entry in WHM for my domain an A Record and used the IP of the main server.

That seemed to fix it

I was having the same issue, but when I try to add the A entry, I get a page cannot be found error. Weird part is it has done that in the past, but always added the entry anyway, now it is not. Any ideas? Thanks

You mean when saving the DNS changes or trying to access the site?

Reverse DNS

No luck here, in trying to change DNS. on
WHM.

However, in reading from:

The reverse zone isn't delegated.

I think it must be done at the datacenter.

see article:http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.3

The reverse DNS probblem is solved.

I contacted my datacenter, and they
install reverse lookups for my domains
that I am hosting.

(My Datacenter does not delegate reverse lookups. I have to request reverse lookups.)

It now works fine.

Thanks to all of you that responded to
this problem.
