How do I setup a PTR Record?

Posted on April 8, 2015

I am running an email server and my outgoing emails are finding themselves in the recipient’s spam box.

After diving into the issue… I am seeing that the issue is coming from being unable to do a reverse DNS lookup.

I’ve added all the appropriate mail records (A, MX, TXT) and am still coming across this issue.

This is what I am seeing from www.intodns.com/americanglassandmirror.com

Reverse MX A records (PTR) ERROR: No reverse DNS (PTR) entries. The problem MX records are: 30.253.236.104.in-addr.arpa -> no reverse (PTR) detected You should contact your ISP and ask him to add a PTR record for your ips

Can you clue me in on what I could be missing here?

HI,

I fallow this link its working Example link

Step1: Change the Droplet name as your Domain name, The Digital Ocean Automagically tack the rDNS .

To check rDNS :

  1. Click on the Networking --> then click on PTR record.
  2. Check thorough command line , Type command $ host 'your ip addres'
  3. Check thorough this url Example link

It seems that the functionality is missing.

A support staff helped me with the problem:

The droplet must be named with a fully qualified domain name (example something.com) before a PTR Record can be created. To rename the droplet select it from the droplets control panel and in its own page click on the name itself (there is no obvious button).
