Hi,

We have serious problems past 4 days in receiving mail lists from
postgresql.org. Subscribers living in the jp domain are receiving via
a relay host named powergres.sra.co.jp (this is an authorized relay
host for jp domain, and this configuration has been approved by Marc).

After checking the log on powergres.sra.co.jp, it turns out that
reverse look up for postgresql.org has been failed and this make it
impossible to receive those mails from postgresql.org.

Anyone can take care of this problem?

postgresql.org reverse lookup fail


looking into it ... seems somewhere upstream changed their DNS config to
not pull our reverse information ... just had someone else point it out to
me as well :(

I've removed the jp relay temporarily, since it is failing, and hope to
have it resolved within the next 24hrs ...

Thanks ...

Here is the more detailed info:

It seems reverse look up for "svr1.postgresql.org" fails.
Due to this sendmail denies to receive mails relayed by
svr1.postgresql.org (200.46.204.71).

  Jan 25 04:09:55 powergres sendmail[9622]:
    i0OJ9qY09622:
    ruleset=check_rcpt,
    arg1=<aau69800@par.odn.ne.jp>,
    relay=[200.46.204.71],
    reject=550 5.7.1<aau69800@par.odn.ne.jp>... Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed [200.46.204.71]

As a temporary measure you could set the hostname/domain name for this IP
in /etc/hosts (provided sendmail is configured to use the local resolver,
then DNS).

Re: postgresql.org reverse lookup fail

Thank you Tatsuo, the problem with reverse DNS has been fixed, and I've
tested that powergrew.sra.co.jp once more works, and have re-enabled it.

Please let me know of any other problems in the future ...
