Getting messages in sendmail "stat=Deferred: 450 service permits 2 unverifyable sending IPs"
Issue
- When sending a mail to
test.net
it is undelivered with the following message:
Mar 9 04:05:27 mail sendmail[30406]: s8UX012712: to=<test@test.net>, delay=4+05:48:18, xdelay=00:00:17, mailer=esmtp, pri=8490891, relay=test-relay.test.net. [xx.xx.xx.xx], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: 450 service permits 2 unverifyable sending IPs - mail.domain.com is not xx.xx.xx.xx
- Why reverse dns is necessary in email setup for
public facing
ip?
