Default 123-Reg hosting

Does anyone in the group use 123-Reg for email and if so have you been
getting reports of emails sent to you bouncing with an error code "550 -
domain does not exist"!

TIA

David

emails were arriving ok yesterday, but two tests just now have not

Thanks for the reply. I also only use them for the same. I gather the
problem is affecting many users but I'm just trying to gauge how widespread
the problem is. To see bounces you'll have to use another email account
totally unrelated to 123-Reg, such as a Hotmail or Gmail account.

I did contact them and they said it would take 24 to 48 hours to get the
Domain Servers updated and propagated through the internet! Fortunately the
domains I have with them are only for private emails, but that sort of delay
must be disastrous for businesses.

MX records look good, tried testing SMTP by hand, but just noticed
plusnet have added my static subnet to spamhaus policy block list, and I
CBA to try from elsewhere right now ...

I use them for domain hosting but MX the mail elsewhere.

My domains appear to be all theer.

if you have access to something linuxish try "dig mx yoordomain"

Or use one of the online remote dnslookup services

I have seen that... it also tends to occur on forwards to mailboxes
hosted elsewhere, although it can be somewhat random and inconsistent.

This error seems to crop up at random, and has nothing to do with
whether the domain actually exits.

Also worth noting that the domain it is often complaining about is the
*senders* domain.

So for example I have a filter setup in TB to auto forward some messages
to my colleague at an address on the same domain. That will get several
messages per day - all of which will forward ok.

Then out of the blue I will get a bounce back saying that my domain does
not exist. Which is "interesting" since I was sending the message to the
same domain, and it obviously managed to resolve it well enough to get
to the MX record in the first place!

I don't think reg123 does anything more than publish the DNS records,
for me at least.

This can be seen using the command

nslookup -query=mx.

Looks fine for me.

From memory propagation of DNS changes is often quite quick.

It might not be relevant but I have 5 MX records for my email domains.

I can't remember why but I think it is a fail over type thing. I don't
remember ever having problems.

I've now tried the MX records for my domain - all look OK.

Using either a Gmail or hotmail account to send a test email, the exact
response I'm getting is

"550 Callout verification failed: 550 #5.1.8 Domain of sender address
does not exist"

Originally I thought it was the DNS records that had been erased or
corrupted, but in view of what others have said it looks like the 123-Reg
server is claiming that Gmail or Hotmail don't exist.

Ahh...

That is gmail sending a null sender. means 'you didnt specify a send
address'

Now either your gmail account is bolloxed, possibly by you, or gmail
itself is fsked.

Its almost certainly nothing to do with 123.


If you want me to take a look send an email to

tnp-at-shaman-dot-co-dot-uk

I think that one is active at the moment

Pretty sure - some mailers may not be so finicky. I used to manage the
largest email system in the country once...back in te dail up days

As I said send me a test email.

Does seem a little odd that they use different domain addresses for some
odd reason this sounds like shooting ones self in the foot.

Doing an MX check for my domain via
https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/ gives the following errors


- SPF must allow Google servers to send mail on behalf of your domain.
- DKIM is not set up.
- DMARC is not set up.
- No Google mail exchangers found. Relayhost configuration?


The following are deemed OK

-Effective SPF Address Ranges.
-Domain should have at least 2 NS servers.
-Naked domain must be an A record (not CNAME).
-Every name server must reply with exactly the same TXT DKIM records.
-Every name server must reply with exactly the same TXT DMARC records.
-Every name server must reply with exactly the same CNAME records.
-Every name server must reply with exactly the same NS records.
-Every name server must reply with exactly the same MX records.
-Every name server must reply with exactly the same TXT records.
-MX lookup must fit in one UDP response packet.

That is aimed at checking if your domain is properly configured for use
by GApps, so the errors are not relevant.

Working again, seems the problem existed from 15th to 17th, it would be
rare for me to go even one day without receiving at least one email to
the 123 domain(s).
