Bounce Address Info

[fabioweb90]

Hello, i'm doing a mail spam test and i discovered that i have a bounce address taken from directadmin when i created reseller account
Since i'm losing 3 points score there is any way to change it?

You're using the mailserver of OVH I see, and not your own mailserver on the server, correct?
Why is that?

If you want it that way, did you configure the DA server to only use external mail?

I don't know how you send that test mail then, but that is where they got that bounce address from.

Oh yes.. check your hostname SOA record, something is off:
Your SOA EXPIRE number is: 3600000. That is NOT OK (according to intodns).
Probably some typo, this should be 3600.

Okay just to explain in details the situation domain MX are set with OVH or something similar.
However (and i don't know why) i can't use SMTP OVH in order to send email but i have to use Php Joomla mailer configuration for this.
So system notification like user registration, recovery password etc.. come from phpmailer on website. If i send email from Thunderbird i use OVH
i already setup all SPF record and now mail tester tells to me i need to change that bounce email address..
change SOA record should be also a solution?

change SOA record should be also a solution?

No, that was just additional information to fix/optimize dns records, but this is no fix for the mail issue.

Why not just use mailserver from directadmin also for incoming mail?
Anyway, I don't know where or how to fix that bounce mail address, sorry.

because usually i found easier to manage everything with an SMTP server a part this project amd in general use an external server for email management.
Maybe this can be a solution?

That still provides bounces, it only does not bounce content of the bounced email anymore.
I would use that in any case, because that also will prevent spammers using the bounce system for spam, because the content is not there anymore on bounce.
