Ya if you get any promo codes or what not I would definitely take you up on 1

@scottalanmiller
I'll send through Mandrill, just cause thats what I've always done. Always being like...slightly over a year

Hey.

Sorry late to the game on a couple replies here.

Alright so.

Yes, there is currently two IP's
Nothing is internal, all external
mail is on windows
relay in on Debian

My OVERALL point to this is to bring my mail into my house (which blocks port 25) so the relay will receive on 25 and sent to myself on 26. (dnsexit.com does but but I didnt wanna pay)

I found where to set the reverse DNS (Truly is that easy) and I actually already had it set, just doesn't seem like its listening to it, so ya...just need to resolve this 2 second issue tonight and I should be golden.

@brianlittlejohn
Outbound is Mandrill

@brianlittlejohn

Honestly at this point I'm a little confused since my mail server did fail last night and Artica 100% did its job.

I guess my real underlying question is getting reverse DNS up and going. If I'm contact who my name server is with or where my virtual is hosted.

And do I simply say "Hey I need a "PTR" record for mail-store1.domain.ca

@brianlittlejohn

Nope, Artica is only for the relay

@brianlittlejohn
Exactly yup

@scottalanmiller
Oh really?

So I need to contact where the virtual is hosted not where the nameserver is hosted?

@brianlittlejohn

So mail.domain.ca is simply my email.
Plain and simple thats my email.
Is and has been working for over a year now.

mail-store1.domain.ca I simply want to catch emails if for any reason my server fails.
Essentially a baraccuda spam and firewall or other email appliance.

Wanting to do it for free, I realize there are services currently out there that do it for a very nominal amount of money.

So here's something weirder....

So apparently last night my email server actually failed to receive emails, error of insufficient resources.

I only noticed this cause I signed up for something and didnt get a confirmation email.

Started looking and ya, my server needed a reboot, but oddly enough Artica was holding onto 15 emails, I rebooted my server, hit resend, and got them all...

I assume I still need to fix the reverse DNS thing though eh?

@brianlittlejohn
Hey.

Yep I knew it was a reverse DNS problem, and already contacted my provider.
They said reverse DNS is already configured, already have rDNS

So my question is can I only have reverse DNS on mail.domain or could I have it on mail-store1.domain and if so is there something more I need to do than an A record and a MX record

@brianlittlejohn
On my mail server it brings it up just fine
Or my routing server it says non-existent domain

@brianlittlejohn
Incoming to the mail relay

Hey guys.

This is a personal question for my homelab, nothing business critical, not even always a purpose to what I am doing other than learning and trying out software.
I know there are alternative ways to do something, I'm open to suggestions but ultimately I want to see this one to the end too.

So I am trying out something called Artica
I believe I currently have everything configured correctly, (end game is a smtp relay to a different port.)
I currently have mail.domain.ca and I am adding mail-store1.domain.ca

Mail is coming in and being rejected for:

NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from mail.example.ca[EXAMPLE IP]: 451 4.3.5 : Helo command rejected: Server configuration error; from= to= proto=ESMTP helo=

So looking deeper it looks like its failing on reverse DNS.

So using some google I'm being told to go to where my name server is hosted, so I went to them and got this response:

*Hello,

Reverse DNS is already configured for the shared IP address you are on. If you need a custom rDNS for your domain or such (if that's what they're asking), you would need a dedicated IP address for your site, which we don't do for free.

The current IP has rDNS though, so it shouldn't really be giving you issues. *

I currently have mail.domain.ca working just fine but I would love to get this relay set up, for knowledge, and to try to minimize downtime.

After this I am going to try postfix as well but I would love to get this one up and running.

Anyone have any hints or tips why my reverse DNS wouldnt be working?
I have access to cpanel for whatever DNS or MX changes need to be made.

So far I've added an A record and the MX record.

Thanks guys!

Ya definitely tried that and failed.
Not really sure where I failed though. but them simply never showed up in add/remove

Not sure if something else conflicted or what.

Thats esentially my only option though eh? / Best option

Ya (so if memory serves) you add the printer drive into GPO correct? Then it shows up under the add/remove?

Hey guys.

Whats the best way to do this?

I've tried doing this before once or twice and haven't been able to get it to work.
Our support guy is getting slammed, today alone he's having to install 2 printers onto about 30 computers.

I forget what I did the first time but I remember last time I tried to get it so the printer was added to add/remove programs

Any help/tips/links are greatly appreciated.

@scottalanmiller Who uses yahoo nowadays....

Creates account to try it out

Out of curiosity what is the limit?

Howdy howdy all.

Eating some delish oatmeal here!
