You CAN make the reverse lookup work
go to a dynamic DNS service like www.yi.org and sign up (most of
them are free)
set sendmail to masquerade as (yourselecteddomainname).yi.org
download their script to update your IP and put it in a while
loop with a sleep of 300-600 (update every 5-10 minutes) and put
it in rc.local or the autostart folder or add it to processes to
run when Kppp is started...
Set their forwarding (at yi.org, for example) for MX records.
And use sendmail like you BELONG on the internet. Reverse
lookups WILL work, even from a dialup.
