Hi Giorgos,

Thanks for your response.  We deal with a lot places and lots of email.
This is the first time this problem has come up.  Very curious, but I'm
hoping you get this and it's fixed.


Thanks,
-b

Your mail system is not set up properly.  It tries to send email messages to
the FreeBSD.org domain with an envelope address whose domain (shown above as
``exchange.katana.local'') does not resolve to an IP address.

If you need help with configuring your mail system to ``masquerade''
internal addresses to real-world addresses, that are acceptable as
envelope-from addresses by FreeBSD.org, don't hesitate to contact me
directly, in one of my non-FreeBSD addresses:

	keramida@linux.gr
	keramida@serverhive.com
	keramida@ceid.upatras.gr

Regards,
Giorgos
