I just recently had a problem sending mail to freebsd.org because it seems their mailservers are now requiring valid reverse DNS lookups, probably as an anti-spam measure. This seems a little extreme, though; my subnet is not a full octet subnet, and my ISP won't let me administer the reverse DNS zones. I had to have my ISP manually add the entries to its zone file. I have never required reverse DNS lookups on my mail server because it would reject far too many valid addresses. -- Christopher Farley www.northernbrewer.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
