email server and PTR record

adil

You need to do that also from the server provider panel, for example, herzner :
https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/cloud-server-rdns/

This is just example, IDK the provider you are using.

ok, so I have found the section within my hosting for the Reverse DNS Management and I now have it setup where the IP will point to the domain I also have the A recorded setup for domain to IP

Do I also need to setup a ptr record in cloudflare DNS

Stewart85 Do I also need to setup a ptr record in cloudflare DNS

No. But do a remote PTR lookup yourself to be sure. For example: dig -x 1.2.3.4 @1.1.1.1

Stewart85 Do I also need to setup a ptr record in cloudflare DNS

No, you typically don't need to set up a PTR record in Cloudflare's DNS settings. PTR records are managed by the provider of the IP address, not by the DNS service provider.

That from my experience how I have done it. If you did it from your provider side, just wait few hours and it will start pointing to your domain.

Just did the dig test, and it looks to be pointing to the correct domain
And I assume that the hello name for the email role will be my smtp-1-uk1.mydomian.com

Try this to be sure: https://mxtoolbox.com/ReverseLookup.aspx

nqnoc That is just an online tool for doing a dig. It's easy to do it yourself and even choose the server you want to check.. ie 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or your own ISP server.

so I can send an email to a Gmail account, but the same Gmail account can not send to the enhanced email

Your message wasn't delivered to ****** because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.
The response from the remote server was:
550 5.0.1 Recipient rejected

xyzulu

Stewart85 Sure you have the HELO record set correctly in Enhance.. spelling..

Stewart85

xyzulu

Yes, I think I know what the problem is. I think it is my Mailgun setup, just tested it with an iCloud email, and the header info is showing my Mailgun info

so I think I need to figure out how to have both them setup on my domian

xyzulu

Stewart85 I think it is my Mailgun setup, just tested it with an iCloud email, and the header info is showing my Mailgun info

I'm guessing that is the outgoing email SMTP (from Enhance) headers though.. the issue with receiving mail should not involve Mailgun at all.

ok, so think im all sorted now, it looks like I can send and receive from a Gmail and iCloud email
I forgot about my IPv6 PTR and AAAA Record

I also changed the MX priority
mailgun 10
enhance 0
