In other words, a PTR is used to map an IP address to a hostname. Also known as “pointer records”, PTRs are typically used for reverse DNS. There are more factors involved with the determination of mail server reputation, but these are some of the more common ones discussed. In short, having a good reputation for a mail server requires a good associated IP address reputation, a low spam complaint rate, a low email bounce-back rate and not being listed on any spam blacklists. Several things can affect the reputation of an email server, including IP reputation, spam complaint rate, email bounce-back rate and blacklist status. There are many ways to check for an open relay on a mail server, including free online utilities such as. If not properly configured, a mail server can be allowed to permit spammers to route email through the server. This is far and away the most egregious of mail server sins.
As with most things in life, it is often a combination of the following factors:
What seems to be a very trivial matter can quickly devolve into a limitless black hole of time spent trying to determine why certain email accounts cannot be delivered to from your mail server. Please note, however, that in order to comply with the Data Protection Act 1998, we can only supply email addresses to a third party if we have been authorised to do so.For those of us actively running and maintaining email servers, we understand all too well that clients sending emails to Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo!, and other email service providers can sometimes end with the dreaded 550 error message bounceback. If you need further assistance, please email giving as much information as possible. Unfortunately, Internet email has no way of guaranteeing that a message was sent by the person it appears to be from, so the only thing you can do with collateral spam is simply delete it. This is a common tactic of viruses and spammers, so these bounces are known as "collateral spam". If you receive a bounce from a message that you did not send, this is probably because the original message was forged. The search page contains the means of finding people at Cambridge University.
Please check that you have not made an error of this type in the address you are using. Similarly the digit "0" (zero) and the letter "o" (oh) can cause confusion. A common error is to confuse the digit "1" (one) with the letter "l" (el). User mailbox names on central systems at the University of Cambridge normally consist of a sequence of letters followed by a sequence of digits. It is sometimes the case that mail cannot be delivered because the mailbox to which the message is addressed does not exist on the relevant system.
