Hi Mike,
If I reword this question, I may get a response.
You should wait a couple of hours/days first. Plus, this is not a developer related question. ;-)
What is happening is that my RAQ4 is not a registered DNS server.
It doesn't have to be.
When mail gets sent from a website on the RAQ, it goes out as being from username@xxxxxxxxxxx With username being the siteadmin name, and myraq4 being the hostname.domainname settings of my server.
Same happens to me. Mail from a php/cgi script that itself does not set a "From: " header, goes out as httpd@xxxxxxxxxxxx Of course, people reply to that. So I told myself to go pick up e-mail for that address and be nice to 'em. ;-) End of off-topic.
When I try to send out mail to networks that use reverse DNS to stop spamming, I get rejected, as the server is not a registered DNS server. Any way around this? Thanks everyone.
Yes, definitely. Get in touch with the company that does your colo and/or DNS. Tell them you want a reverse address on your host(s) that matches your setup. Any ISP that does not set up a reverse for *every* IP in their network is an *sshole. Unfortunately, the world seems full of *ssholes. End of rant. ;-)
To check if your reverse works, get on some *nix box and type "host [my.ip.add.ress]".
Good luck... Nico
