Hello:

I am going to use a 3rd party company to receive my e-mail and do
initial SPAM filtering. The company said just to set my MX records
to there mail servers. I did it and tested and e-mail is working
fine. Just to make sure everything was fine I ran a DNSREPORT
against the domain. It is giving me a error for my MX records on the
A record. I tried to create zone for this on my DNS server but it
didn't work.
Does anyone have any ideas...

Failed Mailserver greeting The server should have an A record
which points to the mailserver for the hostname
which is presented in the greeting

mx.aviinc.com.pph4a.pphosted.COM
220 mx.aviinc.com.pphosted.com ESMTP Wed, 5 Mar 2008 08:02:58
-0800 mx.aviinc.com.pph5a.pphosted.COM
220 mx.aviinc.com.pphosted.com ESMTP Wed, 5 Mar 2008 08:03:02
-0800 mx.aviinc.com.pph4b.pphosted.COM

-0800 mx.aviinc.com.pph5b.pphosted.COM
220 mx.aviinc.com.pphosted.com ESMTP Wed, 5 Mar 2008 08:03:10
-0800

It's talking about the SMTP greeting. Changing it depends on what type of
email server you are using.
