I tried to update my sendmail including relay filtering,
and ran into problems. My maillog file filled up with
error messages saying:

pr 25 20:25:30 itchy sendmail[1286]: gethostbyaddr(206.205.132.204) failed: 1 
Apr 25 20:25:30 itchy sendmail[1286]: gethostbyaddr(206.205.132.214) failed: 1

Apr 25 20:25:31 itchy sendmail[1286]: gethostbyaddr(206.205.132.226) failed: 1 

and any mail originating locally but going out failed with a "Relaying denied"
error.

I'm running FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE and sendmail 8.8.7.

The weird thing is that the IP addresses being looked up DO NOT exist.
These are dialup customers whose IP addresses are dynamically 
assigned from ranges:

	206.205.132.30 - 206.205.132.119

Most of the addresses above .118 are unused.

Any ideas where the problem might be, or a workaround?
Any ideas?
