Your mail server is claiming to be a different host. > GOD I hate the hoops we need to go through to avoid filthy spammers True, but this is different. Your server is misconfigured in a way that makes it difficult to be sure that error messages go to the right place, so my mail server would have rejected its connections even before I started tightening down against "spam." ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

By obfuscating the last three octets you destroyed the evidence needed to fully help you. The error text (cannot find your hostname) suggests you don't have reverse DNS -- mail admins increasingly won't accept mail from such hosts because that's often a sign of a mismanaged network which also happens to be spewing spam. However, your message includes a full 209 address in the headers: Received: from 209.240.79.79 by by1fd.bay1.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Wed, 08 Sep 2004 15:51:01 GMT X-Originating-IP: [209.240.79.79] 209.240.79.79 does have reverse DNS, so if that's the address that was not being accepted by the freebsd mail server it's a bit more puzzling. Perhaps reverse DNS was temporarily unavailble. Correct - the IP is indeed 209.240.79.79 and does have a reverse DNS. However, forward lookup for the same domain will yield a completely seperate address since I'm still tied to domaindirect's name servers and using some of their redirection. I'm beginning to suspect that that's where the problem is coming from. Gene _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Any idea what the list's mta is looking for and how I can provide it? Yes i have, i have the same issue, i have a static ip on my colocated machine, but there is no reverse dns lookup configured yet. When FreeBSD mailingservers cannot find a reversed lookup, it rejects your email until it can (the mail gets killed after your timeout trigger has been reached). So please check whether your 209.?.?.? adres has a reversed lookup since that might be the problem :) Actually, the IPS's DNS entry is for reverse lookup. I suspect that the problem might be that a forward lookup returns a different IP address. That is: domain.net --> 172.1.1.1 While 209.1.1.1 --> domain.net Because the domain is redirected normally to domaindirect servers.
