Trying to understand DNS settings and a lot of problems

Hi again,

Well I mentioned in other thread some errors I get.

They are below, maybe they can help to identify the cause of the problem:

Exception on /dns/dump [GET]
                                                 Traceback (most recent call last):
                                                 File "/usr/local/lib/mailinabox/env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/flask>/app.py", line 252>
                                                 response = self.full_dispatch_request()
                                                 File "/usr/local/lib/mailinabox/env/lib/python3.10/site-packages/flask/app.py", line 182>
                                                     rv = self.handle_user_exception(e)

And:

Thanks once again for your help.

P.S.: I also found the below lines in /var/log/syslog. Just after I tried to access the External DNS page (obtaining the 500 error):

Do you recognize this IP address?

No. Never saw it before.

Can you tell me what your “myname” and “mydomain.com” is? Or do you need to keep that private?

Hi again!

I think my problems were solved! :slight_smile:

I followed the suggestion by @eXTric on this thread, and now I think everything is going fine.

Well, I don’t understand why that problems happened just because I blocked SSH connections through IPv6 to SSH (this is part of a little “checklist” I have/do always when I pick a new server), but, who knows. :slight_smile:

This time I noticed that the installation process delayed a bit more. And now I was asked to enter the password for the admin user (this never happened before during the several installs I done). The installer also displayed some “DNS updated” messages.

Well, I think that now everything should really be going well, and I was also able to fix the reverse DNS (but MiAB is not “detecting” it yet).

I have some errors in the MiAB stats page (MTA-STS policy is missing: STSFetchResult.NONE, etc), but I am very happy now things start doing good. :slight_smile:

This should resolve itself within a few hours if you renew the certificate provisioning or rerun the installer.

That’s great! Thank you! :wink:
