Hi
I have s smtp configured server , the problem i am facing is that i am not able to sent emails to some domains for instance yahoo.com or ymail.com
rest all domains the email goes through
when i checked the mailq i found this
o8D7Ign7026878 28 Mon Sep 13 07:19 <customerrelations@airarabia.com>
(Deferred: Name server: yahoo.com.: host name lookup failure)
<diastony69@yahoo.com>

(Deferred: Name server: yahoo.com.: host name lookup failure)
<fernfrancis03@yahoo.com>
so i did a nslookup which gave me the following result
nslookup yahoo.com
Server: 10.4.122.70
Address: 10.4.122.70#53
Do you previously sends and receives email to yahoo or is it just now? If your smtp server was configured properly, then it should be more of a DNS issue. You also have to check if you have a Reverse DNS for your mail server domain..
check or test your reverse dns
#nslookup your.mail.domain
and look for the Non-authoritative answer portion...
