Several large domains (including most of Europe) are offloaded from freefall to local MX forwarder systems. So freefall can feed them in a single TCP channel. FreeBSD.ORG's own DNS namespace did really come handy for this kind of work. :-) (Most of the forwarders are registered as mail.XX.freebsd.org or mail-relay.XX.freebsd.org.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
