DNS Lookup to Separate the domain part of a hostname

This DNS lookup helps you find the main domain part of a hostname. Sometimes it is called two level TLDs and three level TLDs. Lookups are accomplished through DNS calls as follows:

dig perkel.com.rb.junkemailfilter.com   - returns 127.0.0.1
dig perkel.co.uk.rb.junkemailfilter.com - returns 127.0.0.2

This is a service of Junk Email Filter dot com. One of many technologies used in advanced email filtering.

Exim Configuration

If you are running Exim you can use this as follows:

# Separates the domain part of a hostname - ftp.perkel.com returns perkel.com
# DNS lookup returns 127.0.0.1 for single level domains
# DNS lookup returns 127.0.0.2 for two level domains
# DNS lookup returns 127.0.0.3 for three level domains
