invalid DNS PTR record....
So I thought I added a PTR record via direct admin, but my emails are getting flagged quite a bit as spam.
Code:
SMTP error from remote mail server after initial connection: Code:
Name Type Value Select |
I've never heard of "direct admin" so don't know how it would map these records to the DNS service, but the zone file excerpt you've posted very clearly doesn't contain a PTR record for that IP address.
and the PTR's you have are illegal. whilst the IP is backwards, the numbers themselves are not. 28.802.21.402.in-addre.arpa would be 82.208.12.204.in-addre.arpa |

server.hpturbo.com isn't shown, so it seems that it hasn't got a consistent name.
Mail is minimally validated by using reverse lookups to verify that the forward lookup matches. So a lookup of server.hpturbo.com should come up with some IP number (204.12.208.82), so the reverse lookup of 204.12.208.82 should come up with server.hpturbo.com... but doesn't. I would almost bet the reverse lookup is ns1.hpturbo.com. Your MX record looks incomplete - there should be a host reference to use as well as the priority (10). |

Now look up the IP number instead of the name.
You did notice it did not report an IP number. |
