Hi Russell,
Your message intrigues me. I run Xitami Pro and host about 6 sites, 4 of
them my own. I am on a DSL line and the company I have it through will not
let me have any more. Mabry I am wet behind the ears ( I am when it comes to
computers) but are you having several different domaine names on the same IP
addresses? If I am wrong. please let me know, and If you are, will you tell
me how it is done? but in plain language.
Karsten

Subject: [Xitami] DNS and VHosting
I am hosting about 10 different domains via DNS virtual hosting.
All my sites work properly. However, several of the sites send
auto-emails from forms and so forth. When the email comes in, the Header
info shows the email coming from a different web server.
Is there anyway to get the header info, using Xitami or DNS, that can get
the correct DNS name.
Example:
in-addr.arpa file:
66.172.2.44 PTR www.kdralumni.com
66.172.2.44 PTR www.swellegantvintage.com
66.172.2.44 PTR www.carpe-dm.com
66.172.2.44 PTR www.ripandburn.com
The script I am running for the auto email comes from the www.carpe-dm.com
site, however, the email header shows the site that connected to the mail
server was: www.kdralumni.com . Technically, you are only supposed to have
one PTR record for an IP address (in this case, it was using the first one
in the list), you can have many A records though.
Once I deleted the PTR record for kdraumni.com then the email header
showed the connecting machine as the next one in the list:
www.swellegantvintage.com machine. Is there another way of doing this or
tricking the email server so no matter which site generates the form and
subsequent email that it reflects the correct DNS name (site name) that it
came from?
-Thanx in advance.
