[CCing ports@freebsd.org] First of all you need to make sure this is the problem. If the FreeBSD.org mail server rejects your mail, you should get a notice sometime later with reasons. If that's the problem, you'll need to find some mail server with RDNS and setup your ssmtp to use it instead of your ISP. Personally I use hotpop.com, which is free. You can check if an SMTP server has a RDNS record at http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=3Dexpress&Netnic=3Dwhois.arin.net and use which ever fast for you. =2D-=20 Dryice @ http://dryice.3322.org Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
