hi

Dear friends
I have a windows based host and it works perfectly the only problem with it is that i can not receive emails from yahoo !!!!
sending emails to yahoo from my host is not a problem but in receiving from yahoo the sender has the following error message :

CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3) ...

I am using MDaemon mail server on a windows server 2003 host and every thing else is working fine .

help me thanx
;)

Hi

You best contact your host, its possible your DNS is not setup right.

I think you have to create the CName entry in DNS server.

Hello,

I highly recommend you take a look at http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheckdomainf.aspx with your domain name. It will tell you if you have a dns issue (which is what the error message means).

Have you changed your dns settings recently?

Did you check your DNS server for CName?

check out your mx records for your domain name.

I would recommend contacting your Host provider! Could be your IP DNS setup.

I would recommend using a graphical interface like roundcube as it would give you some more help with your issue.

There is no doubt man as your error message shows the error clearly so contact to your host provider.

Yahoo has been having a server problem, they are aware of it and they say they are working on getting it fixed soon. In the meantime, you can access your mail here through the back door, it's basic, no frills.

I am using Gmail and it is secure, Fast, and reliable. why not you try this one.

I am using from started Google Mail(gmail.com).

check out each and every thing again
specially the domain

Are you getting any error message or not able to connect the server.?Did you check your DNS server for CName. i have used it, it is working for me. try to check with your host or sometimes the problem may be due to yahoo server problem. try re connecting. if it comes again contact your host or try checking with other mail.

I'd guess that you have your MX set to say mail.domain.com and have mail.domain.com configured as a CNAME and not an A record. Whilst using a CNAME is technically within the DNS RFC's its correct but some mail providers will expect to see a 'proper' A record for MX entries. It's all about making your mail servers as 'kosher' as possible with A records, SPF, domain signing and rDNS entries.

Take off the trailing dot in the DNS records.

What kind of problem with Yahoo server? I already registered a hosting package at Yahoo.

The original topic was about issue with sending email to Yahoo, not about yahoo hosting. :rolleyes:

1) Please provide us complete error as it is not complete error message.

2) Are you getting this error while sending email to your email id from gmail and other free email ids ? as well?

I had the same issue and I solved it with this :
save the text as a .bat file and replace your domain with DOMAIN.COM and run it :D

you should check if you have dnscmd.exe in your system32 folder before running it of course


dnscmd localhost /zoneadd DOMAIN.COM /primary /file DOMAIN.COM.dns
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM @ SOA ns5.satcomco.com info@DOMAIN.COM 1

900 600 86400 3600
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM @ ns NS1.DOMAIN.COM
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM @ ns NS2.DOMAIN.COM
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM @ mx 10 mail.DOMAIN.COM
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM www A 38.99.139.217
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM @ A 38.99.139.217
dnscmd localhost /recordadd DOMAIN.COM mail A 38.99.139.217

cheers :agree:
