My reply address is perfectly valid. I have now had to add an A record pointing to an RFC 1918 address to fix this. For some reason, having the hostname this box presents in the EHLO line resolve to an unreachable IP address has allowed me to send mail again. Do we honestly think this is better ? Are you really sure that hub.freebsd.org isn't rejecting on EHLO content - it sure stinks of it to me. Ceri -- Aren't we supposed to hate Darth Maul?
