I am using zoneedit.com for DNS service. I have DNS shut off on my Raq.
---------------------------------------
When sending email (using Yahoo mail) to:

rdrye@hosttrack.com, rdrye@www.hostrack.com, or rdrye@208.155.69.205, I get the following delivery failure:

Message from yahoo.com.
Unable to deliver message to the following address(es).

<rdrye@hosttrack.com>:
Connected to 208.155.69.205 but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 501 <roger_drye@yahoo.com>... Sender domain must exist
---------------------------------------

My RaQ and DNS settings:

Server Management/Relay for the following Hosts/Domains set to: 208.155.69.205, hosttrack.com

Server Management/Host/Domain Aliases set to:
208.155.69.205, www, http://www.hosttrack.com

Server Management/POP Before SMTP Relaying set to: Yes

Relay Window (minutes) set to: 15

Site Management/Accept Email for Domain set to: Yes

User Management/HostTrack/Email Alias set to: @ww.hosttrack.com

ZoneEdit DNS Records:

(A) http://www.hosttrack.com 208.155.69.205
(MX) hosttrack.com hosttrack.com 0
(PTR) NONE

Help please?

Is that a typo? If it is not, it should be set to @www.hosttrack.com. If it is, I'll take a look at your zone file in a second :).

Umm...I don't see an MX record in your zone file:

This could be part of the problem :).

Run from: http://www.hexillion.com/utilities/

http://www.hosttrack.com IN A 208.155.69.205
http://www.hosttrack.com IN PTR 208.155.69.205
hosttrack.com IN MX preference: 0
exchange: hosttrack.com

hosttrack.com IN SOA server: ns1.zoneedit.com
email: dnsadmin@zoneedit.com
serial: 986985966
refresh: 14400
retry: 7200
expire: 864000
minimum ttl: 3600


Here's what I entered in the ZoneEdit MX record form:

"hosttrack.com" handles mail "1st" for domain "hosttrack.com"

This results in an MX record of: hostrack.com 0 hostrack.com. Doesn't seem quite right.
