Or I'm way off base (been a LONG day) and should have been testing for the allstartlink.org domain MX.. (which look ok) far as that reverse stuff goes.
*puts on ISP hat for a brief moment*
Hint #1 -->Return-Path: <app_rpt-users-bounces@qrvc.com> Received: from sh.qrvc.com (67-23-8-125.qrvc.com [67.23.8.125] (may be forged))
The entire problem is that your forward DNS lookup (mail.qrvc.com) does not match your reverse dns lookup (pointer) name on what you are using for a mail host.
Get all these to match:
1. MX record you are publishing already OK 2. Forward host lookup (mail.qrvc.com) already OK 3. And reverse lookup (pointer) for IP should be mail.qrvc.com *need fix*
Since you seem to be using the same IP for multiple uses.. Would probably be best to set the MX to "qrvc.com" as to not cosmetically mess with anything else you might have in place. This is purely optional and is just what will get shown everywhere logs etc where your IP gets reverse looked up & logged. Otehrwise it will just show up as mail.qrvc.com
It's the reverse pointer for 67.23.8.125 that's mainly biting you in the ass.
It needs to match.. & the spam filters are expecting that.
iridiumX:~# host mail.qrvc.com mail.qrvc.com has address 67.23.8.125 iridiumX:~# (of course)
iridiumX:~# host qrvc.com qrvc.com has address 67.23.8.125 qrvc.com mail is handled by 10 mail.qrvc.com. iridiumX:~#
(yup) that sorta saved me the MX step
iridiumX:~# host 67.23.8.125 125.8.23.67.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer 67-23-8-125.qrvc.com. iridiumX:~# Not good! should come back as mail.qrvc.com. That is if you want people to get your mail :-)
OK let's see who your DNS servers are:
iridiumX:~# dig qrvc.com ns

...Some DNS hosting company :-) Cool.
OK let's see who's responsible for reverse dns
iridiumX:~# dig 8.23.67.in-addr.arpa ns

iridiumX:~# Ok that seems to be somewhere else (rackspace) but i'm sure it's under your control..
OK here's the homework...
1. Your forward DNS record needs to be the same as your reverse lookup. Have your DNS folks (slicehost/rackspace) assist on getting that to match.. the reverse lookup should be a PTR record set to "mail.qrvc.com."
and yes with the trailing "." you see there. :-) If they have a web interface to update it you *may* not need the trailing "." but that's what ends up in the zone file for the DNS itself.
Nice 4 letter domain name BTW-
You're giving "QVC" some competition.
:-) I still have odlc.com
Those are pretty rare.
Cheers!
