Ahhh, your servers don't do a reverse domain name lookup properly... If they're your servers then you should be able to fix that. The Complete FreeBSD has some section on it which is reasonably parsable by humans... (I kid, I kid gotta learn how to do a DNS server myself so it's still a little cryptic to me) If its your ISP I would keep sending them Shame on you messages until they fix it. I know that reverse domain lookup is typcially done to help eliminate spam anyway so you can use that as firepower. if they're using Mircosoft servers it probably won't be able to be fixed anytime soon. At least not until Microsoft starts using standards that don't have their trademark on it... Although if Mac.com is your domain then Mac servers would likely be being used, which means its a variant of BSD anyway and should be just a simple configuration change on their end... -brian
