Mail 	PASS	Connect to mail servers	OK: I was able to connect to all of your mailservers.
PASS	Mail server host name in greeting	OK: All of your mailservers have their host name in the greeting:

mail.datadream.co.uk:<br />    220 mail.datadream.co.uk ESMTP DataDream SMTP Server <br />
PASS	Acceptance of NULL <> sender	OK: All of your mailservers accept mail from "<>". You are required (RFC1123 5.2.9) to receive this type of mail (which includes reject/bounce messages and return receipts).
PASS	Acceptance of postmaster address	OK: All of your mailservers accept mail to postmaster@datadream.co.uk (as required by RFC822 6.3, RFC1123 5.2.7, and RFC2821 4.5.1).
PASS	Acceptance of abuse address	OK: All of your mailservers accept mail to abuse@datadream.co.uk.
INFO	Acceptance of domain literals	WARNING: One or more of your mailservers does not accept mail in the domain literal format (user@[0.0.0.0]). Mailservers are technically required RFC1123 5.2.17 to accept mail to domain literals for any of its IP addresses. Not accepting domain literals can make it more difficult to test your mailserver, and can prevent you from receiving E-mail from people reporting problems with your mailserver. However, it is unlikely that any problems will occur if the domain literals are not accepted (mailservers at many common large domains have this problem).

mail.datadream.co.uk's postmaster@[82.152.56.113] response:<br /> >>> RCPT TO:<postmaster@[82.152.56.113]><br /> <<< 554 5.7.1 <postmaster@[82.152.56.113]>: Relay access denied <br />
PASS	Open relay test	OK: All of your mailservers appear to be closed to relaying. This is not a thorough check, you can get a thorough one here.

mail.datadream.co.uk OK: 554 5.7.1 <Not.abuse.see.www.DNSreport.com.from.IP.82.152.56.113@DNSreport.com>: Relay access denied <br />
WARN	SPF record	Your domain does not have an SPF record. This means that spammers can easily send out E-mail that looks like it came from your domain, which can make your domain look bad (if the recipient thinks you really sent it), and can cost you money (when people complain to you, rather than the spammer). You may want to add an SPF record ASAP, as 01 Oct 2004 was the target date for domains to have SPF records in place (Hotmail, for example, started checking SPF records on 01 Oct 2004).
