PTR DNS record
Hi, how to correctly set PTR in cloudflare? I added the record PTR
reversed_ip.in-addr.arpa subdomain but for over 12 hours it is still not announced19 Replies
Have you followed this tutorial? https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/additional-options/reverse-zones/#set-up-a-reverse-zone
Cloudflare Docs
Reverse zones and PTR records · Cloudflare DNS docs
If you control your own IP prefix(es), you can set up reverse zones with PTR records to allow reverse DNS lookups.
Address in the domain
in-addr.arpa I have added correctly, I am not sure if he should refer to the subdomain from which I send emails or to the main domain?No
That might be it. Try following the tutorial and creating the zone
How long does it take to add a new zone addr.arpa?
Is still pending
Have you added the Cloudflare-provided Nameservers to your RIR dashboard?
Unfortunately, I have not gone through this process myself before, so other than what I can read on the docs, I cannot provide any hands-on experience
This domain is purchased from cloudflare
I will wait a few more hours
You own your IPs, correct?
The IP address is assigned to VPS from hosting
Then I don't think you can add PTR records. Sorry for not asking this ahead of time
So the only solution to write to hosting?
RDNS for IP where I have a postal server does not indicate my domain, Gmail rejects all emails with a badly set RDNS and I read on the Internet that the DNS PTR record must be set up
Then you need to get your own IP space for your VPS
Actually, what provider do you use for your VPS?
This is a collocation of a server dedicated in phoenix (I don't know exactly what hosting) from a friend who provides me VPS for free.
previously I had a worker-based email server using mailchannels but they are about to stop offering free APIs and I wanted to create my own email server
You might be able to get it to work by coordinating with your friend, but as FloppyDisk points out, even if you do everything right, you have to be extremely lucky to get good delivery stats when self-hosting email
I am not able to write an email server in Cloudflare workers or other stuff using an external API, I have to bother with my own email server
JS and everything is related to it is my enemy that I don't understand and hate
? You can definitely build your own email service on Workers + a provider like SendGrid. Will it be easy? No. Is it doable? Yes
Well... Deliverability, yes. Setting it up, probably not, since afaik there isn't a prebuilt email service on Workers yet
Earlier I used the emailflare to send emails. I will look for another solution, thank you for your help anyway
