Miquel van Smoorenburg and others seem to think that they do need to match. if you connect to my IP, you will see that neither 24.22.127.210 nor cc659474-a.indnpls1.in.home.com appear in the greeting. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host 24.22.127.210 > Name: cc659474-a.indnpls1.in.home.com > Address: 24.22.127.210 > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host cc659474-a.indnpls1.in.home.com > cc659474-a.indnpls1.in.home.com A 24.22.127.210 > > There is no reason your mail shouldn't work properly with these settings > (apart from being listed on the DUL).

I do not appear to be listed with the DUL, so far as I know. A couple of hosts seem to reject 24.* or something, but I'm not overly worried about them. I _AM_ worried about people who want to make it worse by adding additional arbitrary requirements before they accept mail related to Debian. It's somewhat amusing that the blacklist people seem to have blacklisted eachother, though. -- Joseph Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG key 1024D/DCF9DAB3 Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org/) 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC The QuakeForge Project (http://quakeforge.net/) 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 "Pacific Bell Customer Service, this is [..], how can I provide you with excellent customer service today?"
