After about two weeks of not being able to send mail to freebsd.org because of screwed up DNS at xtra.co.nz, I have finally been able to sent out mail. Sheesh. When I get back from the con, I am seriously going to look at swapping ISPs. This fiasco has been disgusting. The main problem was getting the help desk staff to understand that the problem did not lay with freebsd.org. They refused mulitple requests from me to check their mail logs to verify the cause of the problem. Finally, some kind soul at with access, grabbed this from the freebsd mail logs: Aug 21 17:30:16 hub postfix/smtpd[33041]: reject: EHLO from mda.xtra.co.nz[203.96.92.1]: 450 <mta1-rme.xtra.co.nz>: Host not found Looks like someone forgot to do their DNS properly. I'm sure that nslint or dnswalk would have found this. Sheesh. It's good to be back. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
