Lots of companies have email go through their mailservers (which are the only machines reverse-dns-able). If they screw up the host specified in HELO (or let a non-reverse-dnsable machine handle the mail-queue), freebsd.org rejects email from the entire company. This has happened twice here at wgate.com. -- Randell Jesup, Worldgate Communications, ex-Scala, ex-Amiga OS team ('88-94) rjesup@wgate.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
