I've been having problems sending mail to the freebsd.org domain.  my
messages are rejected.  I sent a message to the postmaster@freebsd.org a
while ago, but have yet to receive a reply.

the details are copied below.  any suggestions?

could it be that i'm not sending messages to the mail lists from an
account that is actually subscribed?

currently my subscriptions go to an account that is forwarded to my
current mail.

any ideas are appreciated.  this is getting frustrating.

Subject: reverselookup problem

Dear Sir,

Due to a problem on my end.  The reverse dns for my mail server became
unavailable and the freebsd mail list began rejecting mail from my domain
with this error:

Feb 21 11:33:27 virtual2 qmail: 982773207.044325 delivery 5663: deferral:
216.136.204.18_does_n
ot_like_recipient./Remote_host_said:_450_Client_host_rejected:_cannot_find_your_hostname,_[209.
16.228.145]/Giving_up_on_216.136.204.18./

The DNS changes have finally propigated and nslookup with server=
hub.freebsd.org on 209.16.228.145 returns ns1.sysadmin-inc.com  telling me
that the reverse lookup now works from that system, however my mail is
still being rejected.

Please let me know if i still have a configuration problem that i need to
solve in order to convince freebsd.org to accept mail sent to its mail
lists from sysadmin-inc.com.

Thanks for your help.
