    According to whois the name servers for domain mrbronz.uk are;
    Code:
    $ whois mrbronz.uk | grep "Name servers" -A 4
        Name servers:
            ns1.gregson.me.uk         212.159.96.43
            ns2.gregson.me.uk         212.159.96.44
    
        WHOIS lookup made at 11:37:49 20-Mar-2021
    
    But they know nothing about mrbronz.uk.
    Code:
    $ host mrbronz.uk 212.159.96.43
    Using domain server:
    Name: 212.159.96.43
    Address: 212.159.96.43#53
    Aliases:
    
    Host mrbronz.uk not found: 5(REFUSED)
    tale@ika /tmp
    $ host mrbronz.uk 212.159.96.44
    Using domain server:
    Name: 212.159.96.44
    Address: 212.159.96.44#53
    Aliases:
    
    Host mrbronz.uk not found: 5(REFUSED)
    
    Are those IP-numbers really the name servers?
    Code:
    $ host 212.159.96.43
    43.96.159.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mailgate2.haysys.co.uk.
    tale@ika /tmp
    $ host 212.159.96.44
    44.96.159.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mrbronz61.plus.com.

    Code:
    $ host 212.159.96.43
    43.96.159.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mailgate2.haysys.co.uk.
    tale@ika /tmp
    $ host 212.159.96.44
    44.96.159.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mrbronz61.plus.com.
    Absolutely positive, no question

    but how is this
    Code:
    43.96.159.212.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mailgate2.haysys.co.uk.
    even possible possible

    Looks like my registrar screws up when I asked them to insert a reverse DNS record for my mail server and they have not corrected it.
    But I cannot see this as being my problem, but I really appreciate the find Talisman, I'm in the process of getting that corrected.

    I've checked the IP addresses and the seem correct.

    So it seems when my ISP has been inserting reverse DNS records they had made a mistake when registering other companies IP addresses

    212.159.96.43 and 212.159.96.48

    Please post a screenshot of both tabs of this dns record in ISPConfig as they are now, so we can check them.

    Check if the zone file is actually created in your dns servers; if there is an error it will be renamed with .err and your server won't answer for the zone. You can rename such a file without the .err and restart named to see what the error is ) then fix the error or rename to .err again to be able to start named).
