Hi everybody;

I have several domain on my server an there is only 1 mail server. This mail server use ns1.domain1.com as banner. I use ptr records as in below:

ptr of domain1: ns1.domain1.com
ptr of domain2: ns1.domain2.com

so mxtoolbox gives warning for domain2 and says that "Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner"

What should I do? Should I do ptr record of domain2 same with domain1?
But this time some blacklist like http://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php gives warning and says that:

WARNING: Forward-DNS does NOT match Reverse-DNS.
DNS is INCONSISTENT.

Also can I setup another mail server on same directadmin but on different ip with different smtp banner?

I am trapped. Help me..

Accepted best practice is use your hostname (servername.example.com) for your mailserver name for outgoing email, running on your main server IP#. Then set up rDNS for that IP# to your hostname.

can I setup another mail server on same directadmin but on different ip with different smtp banner?
Yes, but required customizations are well beyond the scope of free support on DirectAdmin forums. I don't know of any hosting company doing this, and I wouldn't be able to set it up myself without a lot of study.
