It is known and being worked on. The bankruptcy of NorthPoint communications was beyond my control, and certainly in the period where I was using a dial-up service and bollocking the forward DNS, reverse mapping was not available. Now, I am back on a DSL connection with a static IP, but the reverse DNS requires requests to network admins outside my control. My first request to fix it led to them mapping it to 'dsl-64148249105.TOMS.NET', so I have just (yesterday) sent them a request to map it correctly, to either "TOMS.NET" or "CONN6M.TOMS.NET". I suppose I can forward mapping to dsl-.... as an interim fix, but I expect they'll fix it Monday anyway. > It has been some time since mails from your tomsrtbt mailing list have > been accepted here. > Certainly mine is not the only subscription to tomsrtbt that doesn't > like to take mail from sites whose identity is not easily checked for > consistency. Actually, there are only 2 of 231 that enforce this particular one, obviously I see the bounces; I was suprised how few are rejected. It was much worse when I was on dialup for a few weeks, then I had to fix sendmail.cf to use smtp spoolers at the ISPs, because a lot of hosts won't accept the SMTP from a dialup. I will add the forward map for the bogus name they put in, that should make it work between now+20minutes and however long it takes them to fix the reverse mapping. -Tom
