Hello,

Recently noticed some "domain not found" errors by
reject_unknown_sender_domain in sender_recipient_checks. Following up I
noticed :

The domain in the From: address has a SPF record (ONLY) :

nslookup -q=ANY kent676.kent.gov.uk
kent676.kent.gov.uk     text = "v=spf1 ip4:194.80.130.18 ip4:212.219.86.147
~all"

The ip's do match the MX's for the main domain (kent.gov.au) though.

But no A or MX records, as you might suspect (so the error is valid) :

nslookup -q=A kent676.kent.gov.uk
*** Can't find kent676.kent.gov.uk: No answer

nslookup -q=MX kent676.kent.gov.uk
*** Can't find kent676.kent.gov.uk: No answer

I guess this is just "wrong" in that there should be an A or MX record.

Are the allowed DNS record types for reject_unknown_sender_domain
configurable ?

Should they be ? I guess in this case the servers generate mail only.

Cheers
Brett
