FBSD maillists do a DNS lookup on any host sending email. my ISP refuses to pass on DNS queries to my server, so clients on my network cannot have their name->number mappings answered. i have had this problem for years, and the ISP is the major telephone/communications company for the city. i don't guess i have any "rights" to force them to pass on DNS queries to my server - so what can i do??? (besides change ISPs, there are various reasons why that is an unacceptable solution). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
