Hi,

Email from my Scalix Server are permanently rejected. Seems liek my scalix-server doesn´t show his correct name to the AOL-Mailserver.

This is the header code from an message send out by scalix.

Code: Select all

Return-Path: <a.fischer@scalixdomain.de>
Received: from scalix.mydomain (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])

The reverse dns entry is set up correctly. Seems to me the problem ist the localhost.localdomain part which i marked bold.
Could someone tell me how i could change this? The Server is running with an integrated spamassasin filter .

Hi

This is not an internal DNS issue, rather it is an external issue.
You need to ask your ISP to set reverse DNS to your external domain name
