help to fix DNSreport errors

I ran DNSreport on my domain and got these error:

1. Open DNS servers - fixed by adding these lines
to /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/named.conf.master
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
allow-recursion {
localhost;
};

2. No NS A records at nameservers
I used this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy
What records do I need to add?

3.Number of nameservers - This is fine I use same IP
4.Nameservers on separate class C's - This fine too

5.Mail server host name in greeting
WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software. This is also a technical violation of RFC821 4.3 (and RFC2821 4.3.1). Note that the hostname given in the SMTP greeting should have an A record pointing back to the same server. Note that this one test may use a cached DNS record.

mail.somemydomain.com claims to be non-existent host server1.somemydomain.com: <br /> 220 server1.somemydomain.com ESMTP Postfix <br />

6.SPF record
Your domain does not have an SPF record.

I used this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy
What records do I need to add?

Thanks.

 

My SPF records settings are:

Emails sent from A - Yes
Emails sent from MX -Yes
From all server
in domain - No

Do above entries
contain all hosts
allowed to send emails -Yes

A records
111.222.333.444 mail
111.222.333.444 www
111.222.333.444 ftp
111.222.333.444 server1
111.222.333.444 ns1
111.222.333.444 ns2

MX
mail.mydomain.com

SPF
server1.mydomain.com do I need this
mydomain.com

If Add myotherdomain.com to my server what records do I nned to create?

I have these now is nything missing or need to be removed?
A records
111.222.333.444 mail
111.222.333.444 www
111.222.333.444 ftp

MX
mail.myotherdomain.com
server1.mydomain.com

SPF
myotherdomain.com

 

You can use this wizard: http://old.openspf.org/wizard.html to check how your SPF record should look like.

 

I tried the wizard to generate a config string where should I compare it with what file on my server?

Also I have A records for my server host like
111.222.333.444 server1

And for my SPF i have
server1.mydomain.com
mydomain.com

Do i neet to have only mydomain.com or also server1.mydomain.com for my main domain that I registered DNS trough, for clint domains ISPconfig automatically makes only myotherdomain.com so I began thinking I dont need to have server1.mydomain.com for my main domain.

 

hello anyone ?

 

What's in your named.conf?

If both hostnames/domains point to the same server, then you need only one.

 

just found a post here that I neet to copy

/root/ispconfig/isp/conf/named.conf.master

to

/root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates/

In my setup this folder empty.

I also read that:

He loses dynamic control of his Records in ISPconfig though wont he.

What dynamic control?

And I did not understand wha it means:

ISPConfig will use this template as basis for the named.conf file in future

I tried to restart the server and add new sites the server works fine does that mean if I do not copy named.conf.master file the server will have open dns problem every time I change something in ISPconfig?

 

The default ISPConfig templates are in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/. If you want to customize a template, you shouldn't modify the templates in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/ because they will be overwritten whenever you update. Instead, copy the original template to /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates. ISPConfig will then use the templates in /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates, and in addition to that these templates won't be overwritten by updates.

 

since I want to fix open DNS I edited my
/root/ispconfig/isp/conf/named.conf.master file and copied it to
/root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates to preserve it when I update ISPconfig.

Is that correct?

I also wan't to ask how to update the server software, I'm a windows user I'm sure I need a command like yum update in console will that update what needs to be updated?

 

Yes.

Are you talking about updating ISPConfig or updating the server in general?

 

I ask bout both:

1. How to update ISPconfig when new version is out
2. How to update the server to keep security up to date
3. How to update ISPconfig Tools & Add-ons (I have phpMyAdmin-2.11.4 and RoundcubeWebmail 0.1-rc2) how do I update them

 

It works exactly the same as the installation. The installer detects if it's an upgrade or a new installation.

Simply run

Code:

yum upgrade
