Thanks for the reply. It's definitely not spamdyke, as we do not have this installed. When Inter7 did the setup for is SpamAssassin was installed.
Here's what I've got in my log file, it's qmail-smtpd doing the rejection. @400000004e5539281689fb3c tcpserver: ok 10664 mail.poncacity.net:70.254.229.3:25 :70.254.229.27::53562 @400000004e5539281aedc6a4 CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <rwri...@callisto.poncacity.net:unknown:> remote <callisto.poncacity.net:unknown:70.254 .229.27> rcpt <rwri...@poncacity.net> : found existing recipient @400000004e5539281db9851c qmail-smtpd: senders must have valid reverse DNS @400000004e5539281dbe47dc tcpserver: end 10664 status 256 Part of the problem here is that I can't figure out what they've hacked to get qmail-smtpd to do the rejection. In my /var/qmail/control directory there is an 'rdns' file with a value of "1"; rdns checking is either on or off. Any further ideas? I suppose this may be a lesson for the boss to "install your own mail server" but that bridge is already crossed. If there's no clear answer I'll just have to call Inter7 for support and let them deal with it.
