Re: solving missing ptr record issues?

Actually,
Both of you are being quite helpful here.
First, I get errors when sending from shellworld, Will pull one of those to share.
The most recent issues though come from karenlewellen.com.
My site is hosted at shellworld as well.
The error stating that the ptr record did not match used a 55 at the start, not a 50.
Perhaps I  will share both examples.
Thanks, honestly its richly informative.
Karen

Hi,

So yes the reverse DNS seems to work for email associated to the domain
shellworld.net which has a ptr record. The only thing I note is that the address
in the output is an IPv4 one (the same given by "host shellworld.net") but dunno
if that matters.

Also a query of internet.nl about emails from shellworld.net doen't ring a belle
eithre wtr reverse DNS:
https://internet.nl/mail/shellworld.net/1280212/

Hence my question for Karen: I have assumed that the domain associated to your
email address is shellworld.net, but maybe this issue occurs with another email
address, using a different domain?

Cheers,
Didier

If you are unable to help, just say so. I have enough context and
understanding of the subject matter to answer the question.


Most receiving mail transport agents reject messages from sending
addresses that don't pass a reverse DNS check,, meaning that they look
back at the DNS IP for the domain portion of the email address to be
sure that the IP points back to a domain. It doesn't need to be the same
domain, but it has to point back to a domain of some kind, which is then
checked against the SPF on the domain portion of the sending address to
be sure that the sending machine is allowed to send from that address.
In the case of shellworld.net,

host shellworld.net

shellworld.net has address 50.116.47.71

shellworld.net mail is handled by 10
mx.shellworld.net.cust.b.hostedemail.com/

Actually, that mx one is the one we're checking.

host mx.shellworld.net.cust.b.hostedemail.com

mx.shellworld.net.cust.b.hostedemail.com has address 64.98.38.4

4.38.98.64.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mx.b.hostedemail.com

Actually looks right to me. But just for grins:

host 50.116.47.71

71.47.116.50.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer users.shellworld.net

OK I'm out. Sorry, I can't help, as everything here looks right. You
should be able to send mail, and the recipient shouldn't be complaining
about PTR records or reverse DNS. But it could be the SPF on
shellworld.net, which needs to allow mail from
mx.shellworld.net.cust.hostedemail.com.

dit +short shellworld.net in TXT

"v=spf1 a:shellworld.net services.shellworld.net mx:shellworld.net
a:atlas.bondproducts.com a:forward.b.hostedemail.com
include:_spf.hostedemail.com ~all"

Yes, this is also looking right. No problems from my checks, so I really
am out this time. Sorry I couldn't be of any further assistance.
