Re: Freebsd list rejects mail.
Hi man, Hi everyone, Thanks for your replay, kindly the ppl here helped out, and I sent a test email for this list which made greg angry! and everything went fine. I thought I had an reverse! but it was only forward! I fixed that, and now im emailing from this golden, as you said :) Thanks for you and everyone else. Marwan.

Of course if you're " doing your own DNS, just edit the zone file for "kifco.net" and add the following entry. host4 IN A216.65.57.4 Again, give it 24 hours and you should be golden. :) -- Marwan Sultan Network Administrator ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi there, There is a reverse record Name:host4.kifco.net Address: 216.65.57.4 Or shall it be something in MX? or mail.kifco.net? I face this problem ONLY with freebsd list. Thanks. Marwan.
