However, inside my mimedefang-filter, the value of $RelayHostname was not "adsl86-34-215-137.romtelecom.net" as I expected, but rather it was "[86.34.215.137]", seemingly indicating that MIMEDefang was not able to determine the relay's hostname.
Sendmail wants forward and reverse to match. See "(may be forged)"? This host has a PTR but no A (or at least not an A with this name). It did say helo with the same name as given in the PTR record. $ host 86.34.215.137 137.215.34.86.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer adsl86-34-215-137.romtelecom.net. $ host adsl86-34-215-137.romtelecom.net Host adsl86-34-215-137.romtelecom.net not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) Joseph Brennan Lead Email Systems Engineer Columbia University Information Technology _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
