The point is at what point are we doing your job rather than helping with problems. Andrew unfortunately has taken the position that it is not his job to research and learn basic things such as what is involved with DNS when running an e-mail server on the Internet. The problem with many companies/admins/consultants is that they do not take the time to investigate, research and learn basic items needed for the things they are going to use or work with. We are here out of our own good will providing free assistance to those who need it. We are not here as a free answer line. We have jobs we all do.

If Andrew had not asked the question again and I had not gone out to figure out what he was talking about I would not have found out that I had the same issue. If you had told him the complete solution at first I would not have checked my configuration and would have just assumed mine was set up correctly because I had no backups in my mail queues.

When the other email system tries to look up the ip address via a reverse dns lookup the ip address lookup returns mail.autosoldnow.com. These two names are clearly not the same so the other email server will think you are a spammer. You need your exchange server to claim it is mail.autosoldnow.com when it tries to send mail not asnmail.autosoldnow.local WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 <http://www.dnsstuff.com/pages/rfc821.htm> 4.3 (and RFC2821 <http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/rfc.ch?detail=2821> 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.

It says on dnsstuff, and dnsreport that reverse lookup works but that it points to mail.autosoldnow.com, when I look up my other mail servers most of them point to there-IP.providername.com I am asking because emails are still backing up in Exchange. :( Regards, Andrew
