how to properly set DNS , PTR / rDNS for STMP server ?

[Lucianoc]

Hi there,

Im runnign a VPS with Centos 5 / Kloxo / Qmail / djbDNS

Im having some doubts on how exactly to set things up

using domain.com
mailuser@domail.com

domain.com       NS    69...
domain.com       A     69...
domain.com       MX 10 mx.domain.com (.)   <--- FQDN or not?
mx.domain.com    NS    69...
mx.domain.com    A     69...
mx.domain.com    MX 10 mx.domain.com (.) ?? 
mx.domain.com(.) MX 10 mx.domain.com (.) ?? 
69........       PTR   mx.domain.com (.) ??

And then EHLO HELO mx.domain.com(.) ?



Thanks!

Hey,
well kloxo i found is easy to set up nameservers so why don't you set up custom NS at your domain registar? then in kloxo add a new dns template giving your custom namservers you set up and it will do the rest for you really, no need for a and mx records, it will do it it self

Yeah i did it using Kloxo, but I still need to request x10 to set my PTR, but im not sure to which hostname


Besides, all Kloxo does is:

domain.com MX 10 mail.domain.com
mail A 69....

Qmail HELO domain.com

which is not 100% correct, according to many dozens of articles about stmp, spam, etc

It seems that the HELO should be a FQDN and should be one of the MX records for @senderdomain.com




(The latest release of kloxo comes with a Mysql version dating back to 2007, and php 2008, so dont rely 100% on Lxlabs).

It told me the same thing when I checked my DNS for errors, It is no problem. Just ignore it.
