This means that the SMTP server that you use as a relay is poorly configured. There is a FAQ entry: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/misc.html#FREEBSD-MAIL-BOUNCES Looks like the 4th bullet point applies here. Whoever admins that mail server needs to fix the config so it uses a real host/domain name in the HELO command, not "popimap02.icare.priv" > <<<<<< > > B.R. > Stephen > > > --- Bill Moran <wmoran@potentialtech.com> wrote: > > Stephen Liu wrote: > >>>Hi folks, >>> >>>I make this second subscription to this list >> >>solely >> >>>seeking advice where to report problem. >>> >>>I am currently subscribing to >>> >>>freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >>> >>>with email address :- satimis@icare.com.hk >>> >>>But I am only allowed to receive mails, posting >> >>being >> >>>not allowed.
