I was having the same problems. The Powers that be decided that FreeBSD.org mail gateway will refuse any incoming smtp transactions from hosts without both A and PTR DNS records. Just like some FTP servers. Mine included. I am not arguing the policy, just stating facts. What is, is. ;) Either get your mail gateway (ISP, University, etc) to fix their DNS, pretty simple to do, or use another mail relay with both records registered. There might be some free mail relay services around your country. Unfortunaly, there are none over here (at least, trustworthy). I configured my machine to hold all emails and send them directly at first internet connection. At least, the modem bank of my ISP has both A and PTR. God forbid they have as much work with their servers. :) Regards, Mario Ferreira ps: This really belongs on a FAQ. Or, at least on a notice.
