I run Linux on my home machine. It has a name which has not been registered anywhere. Thanks to qmail, the "From: " line of mail from me appears as "alan17@wizard.net", which is the mailbox given me by my ISP. When I try to send E-mail to your E-list, it is rejected. The message reported back to my machine, according to qmail, is: "Connected to 204.216.27.18 but my name was rejected. Host not found". Evidently, your machine, hub.FreeBSD.ORG, is extremely severe about what E-mail it accepts. Must that be so? I am, and have been, subscribed to many E-lists, and yours is the only list which gives this problem. I hope that I can, perhaps, be manually subscribed, since, as a new FreeBSD user, your list will be of great help to me. Sincerely, Alan McConnell P.S. To get this to you, I have had to telnet into my wizard.net shell account, and re-edit this message, forwarded back up to wizard. This is ridiculous! -- Alan McConnell Craftily written on line! Note that Alan has Pixel Analysis a new ISP! Run Linux if at all possible! Shun alan17@wizard.net the frumious bandersnatch! Thimk!
