Wrong DNS configuration. Which?
Someone has been failing to connect to my sendmail for several days. My syslog is full with error messages:
[...]

I'm not very experienced with bind, but so far as I understand something's wrong with either my DNS configuration or with the other side's. I believe it isn't mine. I get a lot of mail daily without problem (for example, from this list). On the other hand when I try `dig tgngu.tyumen.ru ANY' I don't see any A-record.
Am I right, that sendmail's check_mail rejects connection because there are no A-record for tgngu.tyumen.ru in other side DNS configuration?
Is it right address: 194.67.48.65.tyumen.ru. (I saw it in output of `dig tgngu.tyumen.ru ANY')?
May it be someone's trying to hack me?
I use Debian Linux unstable (kernel 2.4.2, libc6 2.2.2), bind 9.1.0, sendmail 8.11.2.
Thank you Mikhail.
