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.

The idea behind them requiring both is it cuts down on a lot of spam getting through. :) Have your ISP put in an A record as well for your mail server matching the name you have already specified for it, in your case host4.kifco.net and you should be all set in about 24 hours. 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]

Re: Freebsd list rejects mail.
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.
