Ok! I know my ip does not have a valid reverse DNS, but is qmail
supposed to exit because this error?
It sounds strange, my server dies 'cause i don't have a valid reverse
DNS.
Is that correct ? Is that the default qmail behavior ?
I believe qmail should not stop, at least none of my other server (FTP,
SSH, etc) stopped because i don't have a valid reverse DNS.
