ok - i want to put up a post of the simple answer
to a question that has plagued me for years.
if this email succeeds in being posted,
the solution is in place.
PROBLEM: emailing some domains (such as freebsd.org) from a private IP
machine behind a "ppp -nat" gateway result in a:
"stat=Deferred: 450 <hostname>: helo command rejected:
Host not found" error in sendmails log.
SOLUTION: enter "DjPPP-NAT-HOSTNAME" in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cw
file of the machines with private IPs that are using/behind
the "ppp -nat" gateway.
heh. i can't help but humor myself as to how simple the answer
is and how many lengthy technical responses i had to parse and
study to dig out an answer - but i guess that's the BSD way hehe.
thanks for everyone that took time to write and explain things.
the cooperative effort and sharing of knowledge of free unix
projects are always amazing to see at work. and pretty
humbling when one consider the intelligence of the
various people behind the projects that are willing
to take the time to write and explain to most anyone.
