Hi

I have the following issue

http://www.mail-tester.com/web-iAATn6

When I try to test my email in mail-tester. when I enter hostname in terminal it says pandaserver and if I use hostname -f I get pandaserver.pandapixl.nl in iRedMail I used pandaserver.pandapixl.nl by the way... and I am planning to use several domains.

pandapixl.nl is just the domain I want to use. What did I do wrong and how to fix this?

Re: Problems with hostname

Dear reshadfar,

You should follow the instruction provided by mail-tester if you want to pass all its tests.

According to its links, rDNS is reverse DNS, looks like you didn't have it in DNS records.

We check if there is a mail server (A Record) behind your hostname pandaserver.pandapixl.nl.
You may want to publish a DNS record (A type) for the hostname pandaserver.pandapixl.nl or use a different hostname in your mail software.

It's very clear: No A record for hostname 'pandaserver.pandpixl.nl'.
