I am using the standard freebsd.mc created during a buildworld. I have started noticing that I am missing/rejecting a lot of emails from places like: yahoogroups.com. It is a valid domain name, and I can't imagine why I would not want to get their emails (well, actually I can, but that is beside the point :). It appears that the problem is that they do not have a machine named "yahoogroups.com". I have been looking in the sendmail config stuff, and I have not yet figured out what rule I would need to change, but I need it fixed soon, customers are complaining. I think what needs to be done is add a rule that says (if it is a TLD, go ahead and accept it). And, yes, I realize that means I will get a lot of emails from places like: akjasdkfhaskhdf.com, but a "whois" lookup would be WAY TOO SLOW. - brian +-----------------------------------+------------------------------------------+ He rides a cycle of mighty days, and \ Wm Brian and Lori McCane represents the last great schizm among\ McCane Consulting the gods.
