Ok, near to wits end....

None of my virtual sites or my PC can send email to anyone at AOL.

Thought I had it licked when I put my PC IP address into my dns so that a
reverse lookup from my machine name to my PC
ie. PTR record xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. -> myhost.mymainsite.com

Here's the pri.mydomain.com file from etc/named/....
(I have edited my real domain to 'mydomain' within this email.

I think I need help here.
Anyone got any ideas.

go to http://network-tools.com/ and input your urls.
replacing your name with mydomain is usless if you are going to tell us you ip's If you are going to give us your ip's you might as well put the true info in the question as someone might notice something little like a misspelling. No mx record shows up for your url. It is quite possible that you dns is not propagating across the net and the reverse lookup is not resolving to your mail server and thus the refused mail. Just what domain are you sending mail from? Is it possible that you have been sending spam to AOL and they have blocked your urls or ips? When you have set up an "A" record, do you set up the automatic reverse record?
