Nothing to do with the WHOIS database spamming weenies from what I can tell, your sendmail is just configured to not accept mail with a FROM address that doesn't resolve (or at least have an MX record, which this return address does not). Seems register.com's at fault here, but you could make sendmail accept such messages (and increase the likelyhood of receiving spam or forged mail just a tad). IIRC, in sendmail.cf under the check_mail section, comment out the line: R<PERM> $* $#error $@ 5.1.8 $: "501 Domain of sender address " $&f " does not exist" <troll> or you could install Postfix ;) </troll> Regards, Kameron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
