Sounds this is the only solution (I'v tested zillions of combinations both at work and at home) ... right now at home half my emails to *.sun.com (including some of the emails to April Chin and Don Cragun) get swallowed and even simple things like ordering fails like this: -- snip -- ----- Transcript of session follows ----- ... while talking to mx00.schlund.de.: <<< 421 mails from 84.59.29.113 refused: Dynamic IP Addresses See: http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?84.59.29.113 ... while talking to mx01.schlund.de.: <<< 421 mails from 84.59.29.113 refused: Dynamic IP Addresses See: http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?84.59.29.113 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Deferred: 421 mails from 84.59.29.113 refused: Dynamic IP Addresses See: http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?84.59.29.113 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... relayed; expect no further notifications <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Deferred -- snip -- Fun... I can't send emails (because the normal way would be via my IPS and not dreamhost (who are hosting nrubsig.org)) because they are coming from a dynamic IPv4 range (whoever invented that to avoid IPv6 should be thrown in a pit with komodo dragons, right after the people who use this criteria to filter spam) and sending them via dreamhost doesn't mask that detail - any everyone starts filtering my emails like described above. Short: I am totally busted (and yes, I am ANGRY-xx@@@!!!). And I don't understand why this works in Solaris 8 smoothly and fails horribly with Solaris Nevada... ;-( ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
