Another problem which I have been bitten by just this afternoon, is that the hostname sent by your server in its HELO SMTP command has to be able to be reverse-resolved as well. This is controled in qmail by the control/helohost file. Also, you can't use message-ID's ending @localhost Sheesh! FreeBSD.org has one hell of a picky e-mail server! :-) Andrew.
