You may not have a domain, but even your dynamic IP has a reverse name. (the Received: header I quoted above showed that your IP mapped to ppp01.sneaker.net.au.)

There shouldn't be a problem with reverse lookup of your IP address. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
