I have a PowerDNS 3.3 server installed on Ubuntu 14.04 (for testing).
It should be master only. No slave exists.

I keep on getting this error:

Received NOTIFY for mydomain.com from 82.91.23.176 but slave support is disabled in the configuration
Received unsuccessful notification report for 'mydomain.com' from 82.91.23.176:53, rcode: 4

82.91.23.176 (modified in this post) is the WAN IP of the PowerDNS server.

Here my pdns.conf

allow-axfr-ips=127.0.0.1
allow-recursion=127.0.0.1
config-dir=/etc/powerdns
daemon=yes
disable-axfr=no
guardian=yes
include-dir=/etc/powerdns/pdns.d
local-address=0.0.0.0
local-port=53
master=yes
module-dir=/usr/lib/powerdns
setgid=pdns
setuid=pdns
socket-dir=/var/run
version-string=powerdns
webserver=yes
webserver-address=192.168.178.33

To my understanding, slave=no is per default and no slave is allowed for axfr, so PowerDNS should not receive any notification at all.

Or what is this message about?

You have set master=yes which tells PowerDNS to send notifications. It does not check sent notifications against the allow-axfr-ips list because transfers might not come from the notified IPs.

If you want the NOTIFY to go away, set master=no.
