Ummm...correct me if I am wrong, but I think INN looks up the names in hosts.nntp at startup. After that it just compares the IP of incoming connection requests to the IPs it has stored from the lookup of the names in hosts.nntp. IOW, no reverse lookup is done. -BD PS-If I am right does that mean I can be an MCI news admin...oooohhhh woooooowwwww! :-) > The problem appears to be in the PTR record in your DNS.
