I realize it must be a common spammer pattern to make use of ISP that doesn't list all their IPs in DNS (maybe they're the cheapest -- I don't know). But for legitimate FreeBSD users sending mail from such IPs, or connecting from inside a masquaraded firewall where the internal DNS hostname sendmail wants to put in the EHLO is not known to the outside world, this adds a few tripwires to getting mail on the FreeBSD lists. Aside from the spammer no-DNS pattern, requiring FreeBSD users to only use IPs with names in DNS is a bit silly. It's like requiring everyone to have a listed phone number in the local white pages. It's not that big a deal to me anymore since I have a workaround. Using sendmail's mailertable, I now route mail through my ISP's SMTP server only for destinations at FreeBSD.org. No other mailing list cares. Randall -- Randall Hopper aa8vb@nc.rr.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
