• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Question SMTP rDNS Problem?

Hi all,

So I have a dedicated server with IP e.g. 123.456.78 , the hostname of the machine is "malta12345.example.com"
On the server, I also have a domain "mydomain.com", which the A record points to the server. I am trying to send emails via SMTP through this domain.

Hostname: malta12345.example.com
IP: 123.456.78
Domain: mydomain.com

The rDNS record of the servers IP was pointing to "malta12345.example.com" however I was getting blacklisted by matrix.spfbl.net with the reason
"No Generic rDNS will be accepted to name email servers. Register a valid rDNS for this IP, which points to the same IP."
I have now changed the rDNS records to point to mydomain.com (I don't know if that is correct) and now I get the following error:

<mydomain.com> valid FCrDNS.
This IP was flagged due to misconfiguration of the e-mail service or the suspicion that there is no MTA at it.
For the delist key can be sent, select the e-mail address responsible for this IP:

<[email protected]> non-existent.

Is this correct? If I delist it will the rDNS be correctly set up?
How can I set up this properly so my domain is not blacklisted? (emails are landing in spam folders in yahoo, hotmail and outlook mail servers - probably because of that).
PS: My Spamassasin/Mail-tester score is 9.5/10
 
The second feedback error message could mean that an MX record is missing for the mydomain.com domain. Besides that, a score of 9.5 out of 10 on mail-tester.com is excellent. If that website does not claim a misconfiguration, probably there is not any.
