You'll have to talk to you ISP about it - they need to set up a reverse DNS for your ip address. > I am also having the same problem as the domain I use dambiec.com uses a > dynamic dns service and the freebsd mailserver keeps refuses my messages > so I cannot reply to any on the freebsd lists. As a spam prevention measure, FreeBSD *requires* that mail come from a host with an IP address with a valid reverse name setup. In my mind, this make a lot more sense than ORBS or DUL, as it allows useful but unusual setups to work if your ISP cooperates, whereas the other two don't. You can use dynamic dns with this, so long as the service provider has reverse DNS set up for your IP address. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
