Your mail servers reject my mail saying that they cannot find my hostname. My server's name is server.merchantsbarter.com, and my IP address is 198.78.66.185. Name resolution works both in forward and reverse with no conflicts in the name, and this has been verified from several locations across the US. I think at one point, probably about 2 months ago (when I was initially setting up the server) I tried to send a message to one of the mailing lists but did not have a reverse DNS lookup properly configured. Do your mail servers cache those prior attempts? If so, what do I have to do to have my server's name/IP removed from this cache? Thanks for your help. -- Damien Tougas. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
