Question

'451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address x@x.com does not resolve'

Asked by: pmengal

Hi, I have that error message (in french) when I try to send an email :

Impossible d'envoyer le message car le serveur a refusé l'adresse de messagerie de l'expéditeur. Cette adresse était 'marti@wanvoyage.com'. Objet 'Fw: 3 autorisations visas groupe du 20 au 27 mai 2006', Compte : 'mail.wanvoyage.com', Serveur : 'relay.skynet.be', Protocole : SMTP, Réponse du serveur : '451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address marti@wanvoyage.com does not resolve', Port : 25, Sécurisé (SSL) : Non, Erreur de serveur : 451, Numéro d'erreur : 0x800CCC78

We verified everything, including DNS, all is ok.... What's the problem ?

Thanks!

The remote server might be really picky, as your reverse DNS and server name announcement don't match.

http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=wanvoyage.com

This is the result for your server when someone connects to it... it announces itself as "mail.diogenius.net"

OK: All of your mailservers have their host name in the greeting:

mail.wanvoyage.com:
    220 mail.diogenius.net SMTP

Similarly, the reverse DNS is also for mail.diogenius.net:

194.203.254.213.in-addr.arpa mail.diogenius.net. [TTL=3600]

Have you made any recent changes to the DNS that could mean there are cached DNS entries still on the Internet DNS servers?

Simon.

Yes we made some changes about 2 weeks ago...

We have a problem with that one and another one, and ONLY with skynet.be (relay.skynet.be)

on mail.diogenius.net, there are dozens of virtual mail servers, so...

Skynet.be is a major Belgian ISP, so they have probably implemented anti spam measures.
There is a possibility that there might be some stale DNS changes on their servers - unfortunately they are the only people who could help with diagnosing why they are sending back that error message.

Otherwise you could try configuring your email server to send all email for that domain via your ISP. It will probably be delivered then.
