Reverse DNS for email server

Hi Folks,

I need my reverse DNS name changing to my email server + domain name, since every now and then I keep getting my domain blocked by spanhus ect.

I have just got blocked by spamRATS, and to get unblocked, It is now a requirement that my reverse DNS is solved before they will unblock me. Sad

 

This means I can no longer send email from my mail server, and only found out when I came to do so..

 

I have A records and PTR records set already, I believe that it's just the reverse DNS.

 

and needs to be in the form of mail.yourdomain.com

 

Can someone please help?

 

Best regards,

 

Neil.

If you can drop me a PM with your username and what you want the rDNS set to I'll get that raised for you 

After the 3rd of November I will have a limited presence here as I have moved to a new role

Hiya Neil, Matt is off today so I've picked this up for you. I've raised a task over to our netops team for that and should get a response in the next day or two. I'll reply back when I see that come through.
