The PTR entry has a DNS entry. 3. Your host has to announce itself as a host with a DNS entry. I suspect you need to configure Postfix to satisfy condition (3). Dunno how to do that under Postfix, though. -- Jonathan Chen Once is dumb luck. Twice is coincidence. Three times and Somebody Is Trying To Tell You Something.
