FAILReverse DNS entries for MX recordsERROR: The IP of one or more of your mail server(s) have no reverse DNS (PTR) entries/* (if you see "Timeout" below, it may mean that your DNS servers did not respond fast enough)*/. RFC1912 2.1 says you should have a reverse DNS for all your mail servers. It is strongly urged that you have them, as many mailservers will not accept mail from mailservers with no reverse DNS entry. You can double-check using the 'Reverse DNS Lookup' tool at the DNSstuff site if you recently changed your reverse DNS entry (it contacts your servers in real time; the reverse DNS lookups in the DNS report use our local caching DNS server). The problem MX records are: 22.130.197.82.in-addr.arpa [No reverse DNS entry (rcode: 3 ancount: 0) (check it)] FAILAcceptance of postmaster addressERROR: One or more of your mailservers does not accept mail to postmaster@myminiaturepainting.com. Mailservers are required (RFC822 6.3, RFC1123 5.2.7, and RFC2821 4.5.1) to accept mail to postmaster. mail.myminiaturepainting.com's postmaster response: >>> RCPT TO: <<< 550 : Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table what do these dns fail report mean in english? that there's something wrong with my host company and i should dump them?
