Hestia mail server can only send but receiving email

I just fix another problem that after setup my email server, it cannot receive any incoming email. If you test with a hotmail, you can get reject notification says office is in the black list of the server like this:

So I noticed the keyword: zen.spamhaus.org

This is a spam block list service tho, I m pretty sure big company mail box ip is not in that list, but why?

So I checked their website, so they have a service called DNSBL, in short, they put those blocked ip address in a dns way, so you can easily query and determine if this is a bad ip for email server. And this service is included in EXIM4 in default.

Here comes the nightmare

So they require non-commercial and non-dns server request. That is, if it happens, for small site like me, you put your name server in same vps with your mail server, you will be blocked.

dnsbl requires non public name server to do the request

dnsbl requires non public name server to do the request

That’s way, your mail server rejecting everything bcs it gets nothing from dnsbl.

It also happens if your server has bad access to their dns tho, like ISP block or something

 

Let’s disable this function

Now, your mail server back to live 🙂
