Thank you for your reply. The previous poster is correct in that our tool engine specifically does not respond to HEAD requests to prevent bot abuse. To access our tool results you must use GET, just like a standard web browser. A bot crawling our tool results using HEAD would be a huge drain on our resources, so we simply do not allow it.

Would we consider doing it in the future? Possibly, but not until we had a framework in place to prevent bots from abusing the new functionality.

We are looking into why the Quick Searches are not working properly and will revert to this issue when we have further information.

Have you got any further in the last 11 months with this issue, David? I'm still getting the same error:

Unknown HTTP method, or HTTP PUT or HEAD method not supported.

I love DNSstuff, but am not wild about the web interface, so being able to bypass it with Firefox Quick Searches would be a real boon.

Cheers.

Hi, I'm trying to setup a DNS server. Both the web server and DNS server are on the same computer. I'm using Windows Server 2008 and DNS Manager. I've tried to ping fraserking.co.uk and the nameserver ns1.fraserking.co.uk although this doesn't work. When I set the NS record In the DNS manger to the WAN IP address a message displays "A timeout occurred during validation". The DNS report and DNS records are below.

Name                            Type                    Data

Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

The DNS report tool no longer works for me. I've tried to use it on several computers and I always have the same problem:

I see the spinning blue circle (just like when the report is generated) and the the circle disappears, without a report showing.

Am I the only one with this issue ?
The other tools are working fine.

Thank you.

PS: I already sent a support request to www.dnsstuff.com

Try using Simple DNS $200 a license and well worth the money. It helped us out at our company.

Hello folks,

I've noticed different results on reverse DNS when the information is pulled from the full DNS report and the Mail server test center results.

We do have an issue with reverse DNS that seems to be quite odd but, I'm posting here to ask if the difference is a bug or, if it's point towards our problem.

First in the DNSReport, MX section reports that reverse DNS are set properly.
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport/?domain=humanit.ca

Then the MailServer Test Center reports a mismatch if you run the rest for test@humanit.ca

I also noticed that the stand alone reverse DNS test reports the correct information....

Why is the MailServer Test Center reports mismatch information if everything is right elsewhere?

Extra question. What DNS setting or mechanism is responsible to provide information that NSLOOKUP will return in the "Authoritative answers" section? It seems I can't get it....

nslookup 205.236.102.18
Server:      205.236.45.109
Address:   205.236.45.109#53

Non-authoritative answer:
18.102.236.205.in-addr.arpa   name = mail.humanit.ca.

Authoritative answers can be found from:

"We expect, we will this way stop spam globally on a long term basis."

I don't normally post, but this guy's opinion is just plain silly.   Actually arrogant may be a better word.   Spam has turned into its own economy.   Everything we do to stop the spammers just causes the spammers to find ways around our efforts, and now we have the botnets.  Spam won't ever stop, until we completely modify the way e-mail works.

With our e-mail servers getting over 90% spam,  I don't your efforts are working UCEPROTECT,  maybe you should try to blackmail the botnet operators.   I think Hitler would be proud of your blackmailing efforts.

I opened a ticket with support about a renewal question on Thursday 11/5 and have received no response to date. Can I please get an answer to my question soon?  My account is up for renewal at the end of the week and I need info from DNSStuff before I can get approval to renew.

Thanks

Thank you for your post. This should work. Are you allowing DNSstuff to set cookies? If you are doing so and go to directly to the "Tools" page, you should already be logged in and taken right to the tools.
