I came back to it today and _still_ no luck. I've got all masquarading on in my sendmail .mc file, and that doesn't fix it (it doesn't affect the SMTP EHLO host reported). I even hacked sendmail this morning and told it to say "EHLO www.freebsd.org" and "EHLO smtp-server.freebsd.org", and that didn't please FreeBSD's mail server. So what does the silly thing want? My real DNS hostname will not be meaningful to freebsd.org. I am on a masquaraded internal network here at my house, and nowhere on my box does it even know what the real DHCP IP assigned to my firewall machine is, nor whether that IP has a DNS entry. Other folks (corporate networks) are in the same boat. Why Freebsd.org thinks it can derive some non-UCE assurance from this hackable piece of user-provided information I really don't understand. If anyone knows what the trick is for getting around this, I'd much appreciated hearing from you. Thanks in advance! Randall __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
