That check seems perfectly reasonable to me. I would say that if you are sending mail from a machine that has neither A nor MX record (because it's a NATted workstation, not a mail server) the normal configuration is to send all mail to a single relay (smarthost) -- NOT to send it directly to the recipient's mail server. > The test I did (sending email to myself) worked since I sent it to my > account on a server which does not do such a anti-spam check or to a > local mail server we have here.

Well, smtp.gmail.com is such a smarthost. > So now you have a good idea what may be the common reason for darcs > send not working: your own anti-spam measures on darcs.net ... that is > if you want un-configured sendmail to work (which may be an > unreasonable requirement). I think it's reasonable to expect whatever MTA a user is running to be configured. _______________________________________________ darcs-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-users
