However there are several possible ways for your ISP to control access to their mail server and you'll need to talk to them to find out exactly what you should do. How did you manage to send the e-mail I'm replying to? I see from your message headers you're using the Evolution mail client, so presumably you've configured it to speak SMTP directly to the ISPs mail servers? What settings did you have to put into Evolution to make it work? It should be possible to deduce from that how to configure sendmail to work similarly, although it may take someone more familiar with Evolution than I am to join up all the dots.

sendmail problem - Helo command rejected: Host not found
Hello and Good Day to all, I could not remember when this problem appeared but I have tried to post 2 to 3 emails to the FreeBSD ML (ACPI, questions...) some months ago...and every time I get the same messages from my sendmail (I think). But since I only use mutt for sending emails to the FreeBSD ML...I thought I should wait and maybe the same problem would come out from the list (maybe it did and I was just practicing mutt and somehow I deleted those emails)... But I do not have problems sending Emails to anywhere if I use Evolution or Thunderbird and using an SMTP Server settings (my ISP's) for sending mails... Now, that I have come to appreciate mutt...I would like to use it from time to time especially when posting Emails to the FreeBSD lists... But this warning messages only comes out when I send Emails to the lists... From what I can understand since I am not an expert this is just a guess...The FreeBSD ML mail servers could not verify that the Emails that I sent are from a valid list subscriber (something like an anti-spam function) because I have not configured correctly my sendmail settings (guess)... Am I right? and if I am, can anyone show me or give me some advice on how to configure my sendmail that I can use mutt and sendmail to directly send Emails to the list...Please. If I am wrong, then can anyone...give me a simple explanation (simple please - I know that I am asking too much, but I can assure you that I have already bookmarked the sendmail Website and sendmail batbook is already in my list of books that I am planning to purchase...not yet though) I am using 5.3 Stable in my IBM Laptop and a newly assembled Desktop also 5.3 Stable...My Internet connection is to an ADSL Modem (dynamic IP but have not changed since a year and a half ago)... Below are the usual warning message that I get: ** ** THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY ** ** YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE ** ** The original message was received at Mon, 10 Jan 2005 23:30:20 GMT from localhost [127.0.0.1] - Transcript of session follows - ... while talking to mx1.freebsd.org.: DATA 450 r40e.point.ne.jp: Helo command rejected: Host not found freebsd-questions@freebsd.org...

Re: Host not found?@#%!?
Heya, I'd say the fact that you have no idea is at least *part* of the problem, *tee hee*. That is exactly what caused the frustration. But, seriously, is it the host broadpark.no we're talking about? `ninja.terrabionic.com' And, is there anything similar about those few for whom this network doesn't seem to exist? Are they all in China, for (a rather silly) example? Hahah, no. Norway/Germany. What is the network topology (layout) of your LAN? Can you run nmap or something similar against your ADSL router? What results do you get, if so? Have you tested DNS on remote systems using 'dig' or 'nslookup'? `host', `dig' and the like works great from outside sources. But those are from the outside sources (shells) that works. My network: isp---cisco-ninja--aegis 217.13.29.5110.0.0.1192.168.187.1192.168.187.2 Good, I hope I can help, and that you'll excuse my tongue being so firmly planted in my cheek. Hahaha ;-) thanks a lot! --janine To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Host not found?@#%!?
Hi. I'm having a weird problem. My network based on a static ADSL connection works like a dream to me, and what ever connection I be making from the outside world. There are a few though, who this network doesn't seem to exist to. Even though BIND is running, they cannot resolve my host. Even though my daemons are listening, they cannot connect to my server. I have no idea whether this problem is due to my ISP, the route, my Cisco ADSL router, my hardware or FreeBSD. My network is NAT:ed, as is the router (running CBOS) with the ISP. Could this be the problem? I appreciate all the help I can get. Regards, -- Janine To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
No USB host controllers found
I was compiling my kernel with different usb options, trying to get a usb option working and I not get this error whenever I try to run usbd; No USB host controllers found I have restored my previous kernel settings, even tried to build a kernel with GENERIC. I have cvsuped stable-supfile and even done a make world followed by a new kernel. Any idea what is causing my problem?
