Some of my email messages are being rejected as spam. The text has to do with "sender email must resolve". So I poked around in the DNS admin menu and added a PTR record for my domain (146.233.180.216.in-addr.arpa PTR www.alientransformer.com). That didn't seem to work, so I changed it just now to (146.233.180.216.in-addr.arpa PTR alientransformer.com) in case the www was throwing it off.
But at any rate, according to HELP, "PTR records are only effective if named.conf is manually edited and the proper zone information is added. This can only be done by a root user (the server Admin)." I don't find any named.conf file on my server - shouldn't it be in etc? I don't find an etc directory or any of the usual directories using DirectAdmin, perhaps they are hidden for my own good? And what is the proper format for this server, as there are a couple formats for named.conf files?
Any advice would be most appreciated.
