hi pierre, unfortunately this is not true. I get the same messages even though I have a registered domain for my box 213.47.198.91:
------CUT------ % host 213.47.198.91 % 91.198.47.213.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer chello213047198091.tirol.chello.at ------CUT------ the main problem here is that this does not show my real domain name but the primary DNS-entry for my hosts IP. if you make a lookup on my domain, it resolves perfectly to my IP. ------CUT------ % host vibe.ac % vibe.ac has address 213.47.198.91 ------CUT------ obviously sympa/postfix on smtp.mandrax.org is not very nicely configured to only check for the IP but not for the domain-name ...
