You would have the same problem sending mail direct to me as well - your mail server is not correctly configured ! Your mail server is identifying itself as "ns2" which is not a FQDN, and one of the anti-spam measures many people employ (because it's effective and very cheap) is to reject connections from servers that don't give (as is required by the RFCs) a FQDN. Many will also do a DNS lookup on it as well, and reject if it doesn't resolve. Running a mail server myself, as well as having run them for work, I can tell you that a very large number of mail servers are lacking some very basic settings ! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Shorewall-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
