It turns out that the freebsd.org MTA won't accept mail from my server: Aug 11 23:45:57 go sm-mta[38236]: j7BCiYG9019787: to=<FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org>, ctladdr=<bob@go.mochibot.com> (1001/1001), delay=18:01:22, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=3362068, relay=mx1.freebsd.org. [216.136.204.125], dsn=4.2.0, stat=Deferred: 450 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [216.200.21.218] >How-To-Repeat: Use send-pr from a machine where the MTA is misconfigured, the reverse DNS isn't correct, etc. >Fix: If send-pr could post via http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html, this problem would go away. It's a lot more likely that HTTP would go through. This shouldn't be too hard to do with the existing shell script infrastructure via curl, or a similar utility. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
