Strange PTR check results - 554 This server requires PTR

Post by andpla »

Hello!

We have a strange behavior when PTR records would be checked.
It seems that mailenable didn't get a answer from the dns-server or the answer is corrupted.
The same happend on other messages to, but in this example it could be seen perfectly, that one recipient has failed the PTR check while the second passed.

We tried changing the DNS Servers to different servers, but the problem still occour from time to time.
Maybe its a flapping internet connection or firewall related problem, or simple a timeout while querying the dns server.

What could we do to resolve this issue?
Could mailenable ignore PTR somehow checks if the DNS query fails?

This problem has been posted in the forum a few months ago, but there was no solutions included:

Thanks and regards,
