So what does the silly thing want? The correct way to send email is to relay your email to your ISP's mail-server, and NOT send from your DHCP allocated address directly. The FreeBSD lists require the incoming mail-connection come from an IP-address which has a reverse IP entry for it, making it much easier for them to track who has been abusing the lists. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Lots of folks confuse bad management with destiny" - Kin Hubbard To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
