It first asks what is the IP address of "jason-n3xt.org". The answer is "4.33.96.206". Then it asks who is "4.33.96.206". Answer: "crtntx1-ar3-096-206.ds1.gtei.net". As these do not match they do not accept mail from you. Output of "host jason-n3xt.org" : jason-n3xt.org has address 4.33.96.206 jason-n3xt.org mail is handled (pri=1) by jason-n3xt.org Output of "nslookup 4.33.96.206" : Server: parmenides.utp.net Address: 0.0.0.0 Name: crtntx1-ar3-096-206.dsl.gtei.net Address: 4.33.96.206 ===Janko van Roosmalen - Vught - Netherlands=== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
