vSector 05-25-2002, 12:46 AM FAILReverse DNS entries for MX recordsERROR: One of more of your mail server(s) have no reverse DNS (PTR) entries. RFC1912 2.1 says you should have a reverse DNS for all your mail servers. It is strongly urged that you have them, as many mailservers will not accept mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry. The problem MX records are:
You guys know how to fix this???
Vortech 05-25-2002, 12:48 AM You need to setup Reverse DNS for your IP. Like 103.230.57.65.in-addr.arpa vortechhosting.com.
My only probs were
ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the root servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
NS.HOSTINWORLD7.COM.
NS2.HOSTINWORLD7.COM.
ERROR: One of more of your mail server(s) have no reverse DNS (PTR) entries. RFC1912 2.1 says you should have a reverse DNS for all your mail servers. It is strongly urged that you have them, as many mailservers will not accept mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry. The problem MX records are:
197.122.23.208.in-addr.arpa [No reverse DNS entry]
How do I fix
ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the root servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
NS.HOSTINWORLD7.COM.
NS2.HOSTINWORLD7.COM.
I have plesk 2.5
Should i change the dns servers to
NS.GOTOSITE.BIZ
NS2.GOTOSITE.BIZ
?
Vortech 05-25-2002, 01:03 AM You don't have name server records for
NS.HOSTINWORLD7.COM.
NS2.HOSTINWORLD7.COM.
Thats what it is telling you.. In your dns you can make a NS Record like this
NS.HOSTINWORLD7.COM. = 127.0.0.1
NS2.HOSTINWORLD7.COM. = 127.0.0.2
Its not an A record but an NS record not sure how you do that in Plesk it should of done ti for you i think

Vortech 05-26-2002, 01:35 PM Glad ever one liked this little tool..
Does any one know where i can find a script like matt had here to tell you how many domains were running on a DNS server NS name?
viGeek 05-26-2002, 02:35 PM Lame nameservers ERROR: You have one or more lame nameservers. These are nameservers that do NOT answer authoritatively for your domain. This is bad; for example, these nameservers may never get updated. The following nameservers are lame:
207.218.xxx.xx
I am lame haha
avara 05-26-2002, 02:50 PM Only one fail here, and that says that there are only 2 name servers but 3 are recommended. :)
RackMy.com 05-26-2002, 04:33 PM That is such a great tool! Thanks for sharing :)
Vortech 05-26-2002, 05:17 PM Yea ours had some problems and got them all fixed.. Gives you a great heads up if you don't know a lot about DNS.. :)
ToastyX 05-26-2002, 06:57 PM Blah, it warns me about stuff that doesn't even matter. I have reasons for setting the TTL to 5 minutes. :mad:
method5 05-26-2002, 08:36 PM Thanks for the link!
El Nino 05-27-2002, 02:10 AM I think it's funny how it gives a warning for it's own domain, www.dnsreport.com :)
complx.net 05-27-2002, 07:57 AM No errors here.
Was there any doubt ;)
Guess it helps that I'm not using a CP and actually know what I'm doing :-P
Pretty handy site though.
MatrixRS 05-27-2002, 12:52 PM Yea if your doing it by hand and have done it for some time you know its going to be right. But I have found all kinds of problems in CPanel, H-Sphere, Ensim, Plesk and them all on there default setup of DNS.. :) None of them seem to set it up all right..
