ISPConfig set up reverse DNS

1.4k Views Asked by At

I have an Ubuntu 16.04 server with ISPConfig 3.1.

I set up many websites and emails, but when I send an email to a certain email address I have the following error:

Your server IP address [186.156.31.17] does not have a valid reverse
550-DNS entry [pc-17-31-156-186.cm.vtr.net]. see

for
more 550-information. Protection provided by MagicSpam 2.1-8.3 550

How can I set up reverse DNS in ISPConfig? I learned that I need a PTR record but I'm not sure how to do it correctly.

This isn't something you can configure from your end unless your ISP has specifically given you the ability to do it.

Linode, for example has a button for it, but if you don't, you would need to contact your ISP.

Normally individuals don't have access to the rDNS records
