Too many fake senders

Hi,

I think I'm having problems on the James' DNS resolver.

okidz@bdg:/var/log/james2$ cat dns*
20/06/03 13:32:16 INFO  dnsserver: DNS Server is: 202.51.233.2
20/06/03 13:33:28 INFO  dnsserver: Couldn't resolve MX records for 
domain b.fourdt.com.
20/06/03 13:33:29 ERROR dnsserver: Couldn't resolve IP address for host 
b.fourdt.com.
20/06/03 13:34:11 INFO  dnsserver: Couldn't resolve MX records for 
domain si.id.sony.com.sg.
20/06/03 13:34:15 ERROR dnsserver: Couldn't resolve IP address for host 
si.id.sony.com.sg.

The above was from the log. But the following worked perfectly.
okidz@bdg:/var/log/james2$ host -t mx si.id.sony.com.sg
si.id.sony.com.sg   	MX	20 inetmg01.sony.com.sg
si.id.sony.com.sg   	MX	10 inetmg02.sony.com.sg
okidz@bdg:/var/log/james2$ host -t mx b.fourdt.com     
b.fourdt.com        	MX	10 mail.fourdt.com

I send the messages caught by the SenderInFakeDomain to the spam 
processor; indeed, eventualy I had so many "spam" messages.

Could that be a problem of DNS request time-outs?

Thanks in advance,
Oki

Where do they go?

If you can't figure it out, turn on DEBUG for the spool manager, and it will
tell you which matcher sent it where.

Why I can not send emails to yahoo/lycos?

Posted by joni santoso <st...@plasa.com>.
Hi,

I connect to the net through dial-up connection. I don't 
have any proxy/firewall/etc. I am using winxp pro. I have 
created two user ids on james. I tried sending emails to 
both user ids using outlook express. It worked. 

But, when I tried sending emails to yahoo/lycos/hotmail, 
it didn't. The emails didn't even go into bulk/spam/etc 
folder.

No, that's my MX. I inserted the IP manually.

postmaster@bdg:~$ host -t mx pindad.com
pindad.com          	MX	5 hosting.jalawave.net
pindad.com          	MX	1 bdg.pindad.com
postmaster@bdg:~$ ping pindad.com

It is now; no <server> defined.

We'll see.
The fake domain matcher would catch messages without correct A, MX, 
CNAME, right? Meaning, if any of those three couldn't be resolved, then 
the message goes to spam.

I see. 
Thanks a lot for the quick response.

This:

20/06/03 13:32:16 INFO  dnsserver: DNS Server is: 202.51.233.2

appears to be wrong, and causing your problem as illustrated:

  $ host -t mx si.id.sony.com.sg
  si.id.sony.com.sg mail is handled by 10 inetmg02.sony.com.sg.
  si.id.sony.com.sg mail is handled by 20 inetmg01.sony.com.sg.

  $ host -t mx si.id.sony.com.sg 202.51.233.2
  Using domain server:
  Name: 202.51.233.2
  Address: 202.51.233.2#53
  Aliases:

Where did that DNS server come from?  Are you using autodiscovery?  Does
your <dnsserver> section look like this?

   <dnsserver>
      <servers>
         <!--
          <server>127.0.0.1</server>
         -->
      </servers>
      <!-- Change autodiscover to false if you would like to turn off
autodiscovery -->
      <!-- and set the DNS servers manually in the <servers> section -->
      <autodiscover>true</autodiscover>
      <authoritative>false</authoritative>
   </dnsserver>

If you aren't using the autodiscover feature, give it a try.  If you are,
and it is failing, then we should report that, and also set a valid DNS into
config.xml.

I am calling it a night.
