I'm sorry you've had difficulties, I know how frustrating that sort of thing can be. However I completely refute the suggestion that because some people running ISP's don't know how to run their operation that others (in this case the FreeBSD mailserver) should allow for their incompetence. As I understand it the mailserver is presuming that other people are "obeying the rules", it seems to me this is right and proper - any other stance is a slippery slope. Once again I'm sorry you've had troubles but at least you've found a way in now ! regards richards shea. ***************************************************** Open Door Ltd PO Box 119-46 Wellington PH 04 384 7639 FX 04 384 7672 ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
