    SMTP problem

    there seems to be a problem with one of the zonefile entries
    in cossacks.x10....
    mail can not be deliverd to mail servers that do a reverse lookup for the IP
    the answeris following :
    ------

    haraldyxc@freenet.de
    SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<haraldyxc@freenet.de>:
    host mx.freenet.de [195.4.92.9]: 550 inconsistent or no DNS PTR record for 74.86.116.190 (see RFC 1912 2.1)
    -----
    my mail server (exim) tells me the same

    record cossacks.x10hosting. not found

    it seems that the ending "com" is missing

    CPanel name : harah58
    Primary Domain : islamargarita.x10hosting.com

    Hello
    here some additional info.
    The prob. seems to be the zonefile entry for cossacks.x10hosting.com
    if i do a dig for cossacks.x10hosting.com the result is :
    ###########
    harald@mywkst2:~$ dig @ns1.x10hosting.com cossacks.x10hosting.com

    ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2 <<>> @ns1.x10hosting.com cossacks.x10hosting.com
    ; (1 server found)
    ;; global options: printcmd
    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 3109
    ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

    ;; QUESTION SECTION:
    ;cossacks.x10hosting.com. IN A

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    cossacks.x10hosting.com. 14400 IN A 74.86.116.190
    ##########

    so the IP-addr is : 74.86.116.190
    if i do a reverse lookup for IP 74.86.116.190
    i get the following:

    ###########
    harald@mywkst2:~$ dig -x 74.86.116.190

    ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2 <<>> -x 74.86.116.190
    ;; global options: printcmd
    ;; Got answer:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 3895
    ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

    ;; QUESTION SECTION:
    ;190.116.86.74.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR

    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    190.116.86.74.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN PTR cossacks.x10hosting.

    ;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
    ###########

    so the answer PTR entry for a reverse lookup, the name is missing the ending "com"
    as you can see.

    Maybe this is helpfull.
    Best regards
    Harald
