It specifies the name of the host. FreeBSD checks that name, and in this case it doesn't find it: === grog@wantadilla (/dev/ttypa) ~ 2 -> nslookup dc-mx08.cluster1.charter.net Server: echunga.lemis.com Address: 192.109.197.82 *** echunga.lemis.com can't find dc-mx08.cluster1.charter.net: Non-existent host/domain In other words, your mail is "forged": the name it specifies isn't registered. Based on the name, I'd guess that this is a problem with your ISP. If you can, get them to clean up their act (make sure they include reverse DNS as well). Otherwise look for another ISP.
