amrad email problems

[Howard Cunningham]

Hi 

At Tacos today there was a discussion about why some emails
are not delivered.  I looked at the email that Mike posted
tonight and found that there are multiple problems with the
zone file setting for the amrad.org domain and email..

Emails:
The mx record specifies 204.29.138.195
Emails are coming from: received: from atanasoff.rf.org
([204.29.138.196])
That mismatch will cause more and more mail servers to not
accept and/or reject emails.

DNS Issue #1:
Antanasoff.amrad.org is as an amrad name server but it is
not listed with the registrar

Your NS records at the parent servers are:
bifrost.seastrom.com. [192.148.252.10 (NO GLUE)] [US]
dns1.avalon.net. [216.81.191.225 (NO GLUE)] [US]
dns2.avalon.net. [64.247.222.1 (NO GLUE)] [US]
winfree.gag.com. [192.133.104.8 (NO GLUE)] [US]
atanasoff.rf.org. [204.29.138.196] [TTL=172800] [US]


Your NS records at your nameservers are:
winfree.gag.com. [192.133.104.8] [TTL=3600]
atanasoff.rf.org. [204.29.138.196] [TTL=3600]
atanasoff.amrad.org. [204.29.138.195] [TTL=3600]

dns2.avalon.net. [64.247.222.1] [TTL=3600]
bifrost.seastrom.com. [192.148.252.10] [TTL=3600]


DNS Issue #2:
Antanasoff.amrad.org will do recursive lookups.  I recommend
that recursion be disabled

204.29.138.196 reports that it will do recursive lookups
