Here is the problem I seem to be having...

I have been having problems with my email server lately. I am running DA with exim 4.6. I just sent an email from my gmail account to an account on my server and it seemed to work fine. But, I just sent an email from my server to my gmail account and i got an error saying...
retry time not reached for any host after a long failure period

So to break it down, I can receive emails, but I cannot send them. Has anyone had this problem? What are some possible solutions? Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes, I have verified my DNS is OK and I have attempted an internet search, I have tried disabling my firewall and re-installing exim and squirrelmail. None of that seemed to work. Anyone else have any other ideas?

Problems

I have a feeling that my DNS records may have a problem. Here are the DNS records for my domain.

Name Type Value
baseball A 69.13.212.130
ftp A 69.13.212.130
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A 69.13.212.130
ns1.xeroweb.net. A 69.13.212.130
ns2.xeroweb.net. A 69.13.212.131
pop A 69.13.212.130
ss A 69.13.212.130
www A 69.13.212.130
www.baseball A 69.13.212.130
www.ss A 69.13.212.130
xeroweb.net. A 69.13.212.130
xeroweb.net. A 69.13.212.131
xeroweb.net. NS ns1.xeroweb.net.
xeroweb.net. NS ns2.xeroweb.net.
mail MX 10
xeroweb.net. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:69.13.212.130 ~all"

This just does not look right to me. I think someone may have messed with it. If anyone sees any problems with it and can help me correct it (or post a corrected version), I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your help!

one more thing

One more piece of information...

When I run the domain xeroweb.net through DNSReport.com it tells me that my NS2 is not responding. What would cause this? The IP lists itself as active and seems to be working.

More Info?

Sorry for the double post...Does anyone have any information on this? I would really appreciate someone checking my DNS record for errors or posting a copy of one that is working 100% to help me debug mine. thanks for your help!

Mike.

Try using this DNS checker as well, I find it a lot better than the DNSreport / DNSStuff one:

http://www.checkdns.net/quickcheck.aspx

Post up the results to that one :)

//edit: If it was xenoweb its defo the ns2 thats duff.

Try deleting the nameserver from DA and redoing it all.

I have seen this problem on a cpanel server when the IP has not been assigned to the server properly, but touch wood not had a problem on the DA server.

I got the same results using that website. It still sees my NS2 as being offline. How can I have DA rebuild the DNS record for that domain? (or would I have to do that manually?) Thanks.

This is a reply only to this specific question:

echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue

will rewrite all DNS zone files (including update the serial number) and then restart named.
