This is an area I've been just a bit confused with myself and haven't seen a definitive answer: the dial-up dynamic IP address situation. Things are working for me, but am closely monitoring in case its done wrong. My ISP provides a DNS entry for nospam.hiwaay.net as 127.0.0.1. So I've given that hostname to my system. It keeps remote systems with the latest anti-spam sendmail rules happy when the DM rule on my system (DMnospam.hiwaay.net) didn't. Was probably juggling too many variables at the same time as eventually I set "hostname nospam.hiwaay.net", then in sendmail.cf "DMnospam.hiwaay.net"and also "DSmail.hiwaay.net" so my deliveries are handed off while I'm online rather than negotiate and deliver directly to the remote systems myself. Fun thing about changing one's hostname is xauthorization has fits until one's ~/.Xauthority has the appropriate hostnames too. Also in desperation one FreeBSD list member's email was getting caught in the following Sendmail 8.9.1 rules so I commented them out: #R<TEMP> $* $#error $@ 4.1.8 $: "451 Sender domain must resolve" #R<PERM> $* $#error $@ 5.1.8 $: "501 Sender domain must exist" -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
