hello,
i have a REHL 5.4 server.i am trying to send mail to my company`s/yahoo account using

Code:

mailx -s "subject" user@company.com

I am getting a rebounce mail

Code:

Diagnostic-Code: SMTP; 554 Refused. Your IP address is listed in the RBL at dyna.spamrats.com

.

When visited the url dyna.spamrats.com,it stated that the reverse dns is not congigured and that is why it has put my ip in the blacklist.

how to remove my ip from the blacklist??????

thanx in advance for the help!!!!!!!

Hi,

According to the message you got, you should fix the reverse dns record (PTR) of your mail server. That means that your IP must resolve to a hostname.

actually i have register the ip with the free dns providing website https://www.dyndns.com.

You can use this site, or from command line run:

Code:

dig -x x.x.x.x

That means that your ip resolves to 204.55.44.22.static.vsnl.net.in. But only the name server at 200.51.00.2 can resolve it.
From my side, I cannot resolve that ip

Code:

dig -x 204.55.44.22

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0 <<>> -x 204.55.44.22

and of course the same goes for all other name servers.
You may ask your ISP, or whoever is responsible for your dns to fix it.

what should i tell my isp?

bathory · 03-16-2010, 05:16 AM

You ip address must be resolvable from the internet if you intend to run a mail server. Now only the name server at 200.51.00.2 can resolve it and that name server is not reachable from outside

Code:

dig -x 204.55.44.22 @200.51.00.2

; <<>> DiG 9.7.0 <<>> -x 204.55.44.22 @200.51.00.2
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

If 200.51.00.2 (is it your ISP dns server?) is authoritative for your subnet, you should describe them this situation.
