Email rejected by many organization (SPAM) after changing my DNS server for my domain name.
Hi !
Yesturday, I had changed my public DNS servers for my domain name from
ns1-no-ip.com to ns1.yourhostdns.com
ns2-no-ip.com to ns2.yourhostdns.com
for testing purpose
Then I changed them back to no-ip within 24hours.
This morning mostly all email getting out of my exchange organisation are rejected from many organization (like hotmail, yahoo, private servers) because of spam.
How can I fix that. I did not had this problem before changing my DNS but anyway they are back to the original config.

Ok .. here you have a small confusion.......
Mx and other things are used for receiving email and has nothng to do with sending Mails Out...
I guess you are getting Blackilsted ..and that too by spamhaus..
Check if your server is Open for relay....
i guess it would be....
Is this Exchange 2003 or 2007 ?
to check if the server is open for relay.
--> Go to properties of Default smtp virtual server ->access tab--> relay
you should have the first option selected there. "Only the list Below"
and there should be nothng Listed below...

Yeah but what is the reason he is blacklisted. I bet any money his PTR record is not setup or setup properly. I would also look at creating an SPF record.
I agree that some domains require PTR Record to receive emails [IT should be there as per MS recomendation].. BUT if you dont have PTR .. it will never be a reason for Blacklisting...
its setting on the exchange server coz of which exchagne server is sending out spams
SPAM HAUS is a RBL... and it only Blocks iffff it finds some one spamming Out...
so we have to work on that....

This is not a new setup here. Exchange Server 2007 is in production since 10 month now and was working perfectly.
I guess two things could have happen here: 1. I got a virus that was sending a lot of spam email during the week-end. or 2. Because I "played" in my DNS records.

What is the error that is reported from the mx lookup? Click on it, it will take you to the black list.

I have blocked port 25 from inside to outside on my network (except for my exchange server)
My Exchange Server 2007 server has a "send connector" that "use domain name system (DNS) "MX" records to route mail automatically" and "use the external DNS Lookup settings on the transport server"
I can receive all email so I guess my MX records are okay.
On MXtoolbox.com I am blacklisted on 3 servers (CBL, DNSBLNETAUT1, Spamhaus-ZEN) with error code 127.0.0.2

I understand.. that... and thats what i said... MX is for receiving mail... and its is perfect at your end...
can you tell me what all settings are there on the receive connector ?
if there is any misconfiguration in it.. your server can be open for relay...
Make sure on the receive connector "Externally secured" option is Unchecked.................
and
then follow this :
1) installed the Agents :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Script\ Install-AntispamAgents,ps1
2) RESTART THE TRANSPORT SERVICE
3) +> Check if they are installed By : get-TransportAgent
4) Then go to exchange management console.
Under org configuration..chlck on Hub transport
click on Anti spam tab
And you need to configure the following:
+> on the IPBlock List provider added
1) Spam Haus
zen.spamhaus
2) open relay test
dnsbl.sorbs.net
3) abusive host
dnsbl.ahbl.org
+> on the Recipient filtering -> Blocked Recipient->checked the option - Block
Message sent to recipient not listed in the Global Address List.
+> on the Sender filtering -> Blocked sender -> checked the option - Block message
from Blank sender.
5) Stop the Microsoft exchange transport service
