Let me add one thing, just say what you want to say in a very understandable mannor: ``Mail sent from your personal computer or networked computer will not be processed unless you have a legal (registered) domain name. Just making up one for your internal network does not qualify as a legal (registered) domain name. For email to be accepted at hub.FreeBSD.org you will be required to use the email address from your ISP or another email address from a qualified domain. In plain english, if you cannot accept mail to your computer with (whoever@example.com) then your email may most likly bounce as a result.'' What do you think, not perfect, but build on that ;) Let me know the outcome of your decision. > > -- > keep a mild groove on > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message > -- Tom (Darklogik) Rhodes www.FreeBSD.org -The Power To Serve www.Pittgoth.com -Pittgoth Discussion Portal trhodes@{Pittgoth.com, FreeBSD.org} PGP key by www: http://www.pittgoth.com/~darklogik/darklogik.key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
