  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

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.
