I know this is not -current related, but then, neither is the thread on hub.freebsd.org refusing DUL origin messages. I have a DSL line with static IP, and all my FreeBSD mailing lists are sent to bruce@zuhause.mn.org. There are two DNS MX records for zuhause.mn.org, one at preference 100 with my IP address, and a second at preference 150 for the mn.org main mail server. Even though my IP has a lower preference value, none of my FreeBSD mailing list mail come directly to my machine, it all passes through the minuet.skypoint.net. I get plenty of mail sent to zuhause.mn.org from other locations which talk directly to my machine, so why don't the FreeBSD mailing lists? As you can see, hub.freebsd.org has the correct information its DNS tables, so it can't be out of date information. nslookup - hub.freebsd.org Default Server: hub.FreeBSD.ORG Address: 204.216.27.18 > set querytype=mx > zuhause.mn.org Server: hub.FreeBSD.ORG Address: 204.216.27.18 Non-authoritative answer: zuhause.mn.org preference = 150, mail exchanger = minuet.skypoint.net zuhause.mn.org preference = 100, mail exchanger = 205.215.217.178 Authoritative answers can be found from: mn.org nameserver = minuet.skypoint.net mn.org nameserver = ns2.skypoint.net mn.org nameserver = zeus.cs.uh.edu minuet.skypoint.net internet address = 199.86.32.2 ns2.skypoint.net internet address = 199.86.32.4 > zuhause.org Server: hub.FreeBSD.ORG Address: 204.216.27.18 zuhause.org preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.zuhause.org zuhause.org nameserver = ns1.uswest.net zuhause.org nameserver = ns2.dnvr.uswest.net zuhause.org nameserver = ns3.mn.uswest.net mail.zuhause.org internet address = 205.215.217.178 ns1.uswest.net internet address = 204.147.80.5 ns2.dnvr.uswest.net internet address = 206.196.128.1 ns3.mn.uswest.net internet address = 204.147.80.1 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
