Well, here is my problem: bounced mail
My main IP for the server is 69.56.237.82, and all mail appears to come from
that IP address
SMTP error from remote mailer after initial connection:
host mx02.sccoast.net [66.153.203.185]: 550 Reverse DNS lookup failed
for host 69.56.237.82
Reverse lookup doesn't match!
#nslookup 69.56.237.82 spameater.com
#nslookup spameater.com 69.56.237.84
Same problem for all domains on this server that are not 69.56.237.82
My host company is staffed by people who don't know anything about DNS, but
they can install zone records ok.
Can anybody help me create a zone record and reverse zone record which I can
send to my hosting company?
Below is the CURRENT zone file for this domain.
$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA spameater.com. support.spameater.com. (
2003112104 ; serial LAST:cchin
900 ; refresh period
900 ; retry period
1209600 ; expire period
86400) ; minimum TTL period
spameater.com. IN NS ns1.theplanet.com.
spameater.com. IN NS ns2.theplanet.com.
spameater.com. IN MX 10 mail
spameater.com. IN A 69.56.237.84
www IN A 69.56.237.84
ftp IN A 69.56.237.84
mail IN A 69.56.237.84
fortune01 IN A 69.56.237.82
Here is the ouput of #dig spameater.com, which should provide a good start
to a reverse zone record for somebody (maybe you?) who knows what they are
doing.
# dig spameater.com
; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> spameater.com

something like this?
spameater.com. 14400 IN A 69.56.237.82
spameater.com. 14400 IN PTR 82.237.56.69.IN-ADDR.ARPA
but where does it go?, and can I have more than one A record for
spameater.com? help!
