Then why does it not occur in 8.12.9? If I start my 8.12.9 sendmail, it does NOT say "may be forged". Did something change in-between versions? Here is why I think it seems related to Verisign somehow: asarian-host: {root} % nslookup my-xp-machine.net Name: my-xp-machine.net Address: 64.94.110.11 Maybe 8.12.10 picks up on the IP-mismatch? But that still does not explain why my 8.12.9 sendmail does not say "may be forged". And if I change /etc/hosts to have 192.168.1.3 called "my-xp-machine.ORG", then the error goes away, in 8.12.10 too! - Mark _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
