I had this problem before - freebsd mail server needs some time before
it sees DNS changes...will be fine in a few hours.

 It seems like it is a DNS problem.
 
 Are you sure that:
 
 - your mail server gateway name resolves into your mail server gateway IP
 
 and
 
 - your mail server gateway IP reverse resolves to your mail server gateway 
 name
 
 Both should be resolve properly.
 
 The check should be done outside of your own subnet, from an Internet
 Cafe (use Windows nslookup command, same syntax as nslookup on Unix)
 from home if you use a different ISP than for the machine that makes
 problem...
 
 You mention that you recently changed your IP, how recent is that
 recently? The old IP/name could be cached at FreeBSD.
 

I thought it sounded like dns too. But I was under the impression that only a 
reverse lookup was used against the Server name sent by postfix. I have 
specifically requested a ptr record in the arpa zone, and I can run a resolveip 
successfully here.

Is my info wrong? Is the lookup done against more than just the Server name set 
in main.cf?

Cheers

Ok. This is the exact message:

This is not greylisting either; something should have gotten through by now. 
I've just checked the mx record for the domain in question too- all good.

Server name in main.cf is set to the mx record of the domains served.

What else is there?

The reverse lookup is done against the IP connecting to FreeBSD mail
servers. If you post your IP to the list (and it's really no big deal),
we can easily check if it's okay.

 Server name in main.cf is set to the mx record of the domains served.

Unfortunately, this doesn't include the hostname and the IP address that
mx1.freebsd.org failed to resolve.  If you are worried about privacy
issues and you don't want the IP address to appear in the mailing list
archives, can you post it personally to me?  Then I can check from
*.freebsd.org machines to see if it resolves correctly both ways: from a
hostname - address and backwards.

If you're just getting 4xx error codes, but the mails are accepted
after a while, it's simply greylisting. That's normal behaviour of
the FreeBSD mail server(s).

That sounds likely. I'll check the exact pattern of the errors to see.

I'll post back with the error soon as I can access the server again.
