My mails are being bounced with: > > 450 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [209.212.102.154] [snip] ;; ANSWER SECTION: 154.102.212.209.in-addr.arpa. 5D IN PTR mip-perim-1--jp-ha-1-a.mtnns.net. Looks like a dialup/dhcp pool host to me. Generally those don't get accepted, or else anyone with DSL etc, could set up a BSD/Linux box and spam the whole world. With an address like that, you are most likely under an ISPs umbrella. If that's the case, you can set thier SMTP server as a "smart host" in sendmail. Alternatively, and I dont know how much luck you will have, you can see if they can reverse resolve your IP to your domain. I know my local DSL provider wont. I've had to do this myself for a problem just like yours. HTH -C To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
