Join the club. I switched ISPs in Jan because my old ISP (PulseNet) couldn't figure out how to make reverse DNS work ... even when I told them exactly what to do. PulseNet would ignore my phonecalls for weeks at a time, until I would threaten them. The thing that worries me is that they tried to pretend that my inability to send email to FreeBSD's mail servers was caused by the config at FreeBSD. I'm smart enough to know different, but most of their customers aren't, and they're getting lied to. I wish I could think of something effective to do about it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
