To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I tried to send mail to this list from my server. I've got bind8 installed, and reverse pointers all set. I'm using DSL and got a block of 8IP's from US West. The mail failed, saying it couldn't get the hostname from my ip address. (Though I thought it was working locally, other hosts in fact cannot get my hostname from my ip address.) Two parts to this question... is there a way to send mail to the list without worrying about a reverse lookup? And two, I registered my block of 8 (subnet mask 255.255.255.248)with Arin, yet it still forwards the request to the US-West server. How do I get my block of IP's registered so it goes to my nameserver tables instead of using us wests? (I can't as them for help... their tech support hear's UNIX and say forget it. They also won't support using a hub with their block of 8 ip addresses! They assume/desire that you run windoze or MacOS directly connected to the DSL router, rather than use the block of 8 IPs. Weird.) Thanks. Edward Wolpert __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
