Gmail's servers keep kicking back my test emails from my VPS. I followed the
support link in the 550 message, and it said that the reason for being
blocked is that the sending IP didn't match the domain.
I just ran nslookup on my windows box at work and got the following result:
C:\>nslookup 98.129.169.120
Server: [removed]
Address: [removed]
Name: robertstackhouse.com
Address: 98.129.169.120
I'm kinda a newb at this MTA stuff. Can someone see if I did anything wonky
from the message details below?
Thanks.
