Andrew.. welcome to the world of an admin. If you have read all the documents and help and then searched the net, configured and re configured the product you are trying to achieve your goal with and still cannot get the result that you want then its time to look at other products to achieve the goal. Stop blaming the product for your inability to configure it correctly in your environment. If it doesn't do the job ditch it or live with it..IMF is an OK tool that is free but there is a reason it is free.. what do expect for nothing?

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. MAIL.autosoldnow.com claims to be non-existent host ASNMAIL.autosoldnow.local: 220 ASNMAIL.autosoldnow.local Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at Wed, 17 May 2006 10:04:59 -0400 Douglas Jensen Douglas.Jensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:Douglas.Jensen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Voice (952) 402-9821 Fax (952) 402-9815 Network Administrator Scott Carver Dakota CAP Agency, Inc. 712 Canterbury Road Shakopee, MN 55379 www.capagency.org <file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\djensen.SCDCAP\Application%20Data\Microsoft\Signatures\www.capagency.org> ________________________________ From: exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:exchangelist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andrew English Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 8:37 AM To: exchangelist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ExchangeList] Re: Reverse Lookup 2 Can someone check to see if autosoldnow.com reverse lookup is properly configured? 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
