More precisely, people who have chosen to run spambouncer are rejecting your mail based on the rules it uses. The procmail recipe does just what it says: blocks Inflow IP addresses. The IP address you use is owned by Inflow (you sub-let from another renter, your ISP). As the owner, the ultimate responsibility for that IP address is Inflow's. A quick groups.google.com search shows that Inflow does have spam-friendliness problems. None of this has anything to do with the FreeBSD port. I suggest you contact, in this order, your ISP, Inflow, and then the spambouncer authors. Success in getting Inflow to change its ways would help in getting them removed from the procmail recipe. You could also contact the intended recipients of your mail and have them whitelist your email address. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
