I already know all this. I'm the one that set it up. So what you're trying to say is that my isp's mail server rejected the e-mail becuase my ip resolved to my isp's hostname? That doesn't make sense. My isp (Verizon Online) won't do r-dns hosting which is why I need my own SMTP server to work. It's the easiest way to avoid ALL problems such as this. --- Jason jason@jason-n3xt.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
