They have tightened the anti-spam rules on the freebsd machine. Your sendmail is poorly configured and it just reporting itself as "sol" instead of "sol.cs.binghamton.edu" or "cs.binghamton.edu". This needs to be corrected before hub.freebsd.org will accept mail from that machine. The reason netscape works is because it's using "mail.binghamton.edu" which is a different server, and it's sendmail is aparently configured to place the proper headers in the outgoing e-mail. -Chris P.S. This topic has been revisited MANY MANY times the past couple weeks. Can't something be put in the mailing list FAQ about this? > -----Original Message----- > From: Zhihui Zhang [SMTP:bf20761@binghamton.edu] > Sent: Friday, July 23, 1999 11:01 AM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Could not be delivered for 0 secs > > > I have been using my email account zzhang@cs.binghamton.edu to send emails > to the questions and hackers list for a while.
