Hi,
As Gary already said, this should be something related to incorrect DNS=20
settings. To confirm, do the following :
ping 8.8.178.110
ping www.freebsd.org
If 1st command works and the 2nd does not, it confirms bad DNS. You can=20
then set things right with :
bsdconfig networking
If you do not have your own DNS settings, use OpenDNS - that is what I=20
use myself. DNS1 =3D 208.67.222.222; DNS2 =3D 208.67.220.220
Regards
Manish Jain

I'm usually using sqlgrey for greylisting. In addition to that I'm using
amavisd (that harnesses spamassassin, clamav (and/or other anti-viruses, -
yes, I have windows people receiving their mail on our UNIX servers), and
variety of distributed spam signature databases. Also, in postfix
configuration (that we use as MTA) we add some RBLs:
reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net,
reject_rbl_client cbl.abuseat.org,
I hope, this helps.
