Hey,

I have a problem with my mail queue.
It seems most (no all) of the mails submitted from forms/scripts end in the mail query. I have about 2500 mails in the mail queue.(alot are several days old).

What is this caused and how do I solve it.
... and yes, I have been searching the forums, but most problems are caused by spam, I dont belive this is the case.

Any help would be great :)

Most emails are to root containing the following:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

You need RDNS

Does that mean I have a "Reverse DNS" problem?
How do I solve that?

If I look in "Main >> DNS Functions >> Edit a DNS Zone" for server02.hostsat.com, then it display the nameservers ns3.hostsat.com and ns4.hostsat.com but I use the nameservers "ns1.savefile.com" and "ns2.savefile.com". It also display "info.hostsat.com", dont know if this is okay or something that should be changed.

Should I change the nameservers above so it fix the once im using or... ? if so, do i have to edit it somewhere else too?

for "rdns" open a ticket with your provider to have it setup.

I received this respons from my datacenter:

"Please let us know the FQDN's and IPs you would like to be reversed, and we can get this done. Be sure that the FQDN's forward resolve, or they will not be added."

What does that mean?

login to whm (Assuming Cpanel)-&gt; Select Tweak Settings-&gt; Then uncheck-&gt;Prevent the user 'nobody' from sending out mail to remote addresses (php and cgi scripts generally run as nobody if you are not using phpsuexec and suexec respectively.)
