View Full Version : Email Header Problem

When any of the email addresses on any of the domains on my VPS receive mail the email headers start something like...

Return-Path: <member@ebay.co.uk>
Delivered-To: myemailaddress@mydomain.com
Received: (qmail 4053 invoked from network); 15 Jul 2006 09:55:46 +0100
Received: from mxpool14.ebay.com (HELO mx30.sjc.ebay.com) (66.135.197.20)
by wrongdomain.com with SMTP; 15 Jul 2006 09:55:46 +0100...

The problem is the "by wrongdomain.com" bit, wrongdomain.com being another random domain on my VPS. It could cause embarrassment, if email for pureandsimple.com was being received by bitchslappinho.org for example? ;)

Anyone know how to fix?

Yes, just email support and ask them to set your reverse DNS to whatever you'd like it to be.

Charles,
Can we have a reverse DNS setup for any domain name that requires it, or only for the domain used by the main VPS account?
Thanks,

reverse dns is like the "official name" of your ip... so your ip can only have one "name" ...

Of course, that makes perfect sense. So only if there is a dedicated IP can a customer have rDNS for their domain.
Thanks Fred.
