Maybe you have a ppp connection like me? I run qmail from home, and I have a file in the ip-up directory like this: This sets the 'HELO' response to the correct reverse lookup is for my IP. You may want to try something similar/different for your MTA.
----------begin '/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/6_set_qmail_hostname'---------- #!/bin/sh # copies the new hostname to the qmail control file QCD=/etc/qmail ME=`host $PPP_LOCAL | head -1 | cut -d" " -f2` echo "$ME" > $QCD/helohost -----------end '/etc/ppp/ip-up.d/6_set_qmail_hostname'---------- A similar file in ip-down.d/ removes the helohost file on disconnect. I found this technique in a page linked off the qmail pages. Hope this is useful. - Marsh On Fri, Apr 16, 1999 at 03:48:11AM -0400, Arcady Genkin wrote: > George Bonser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Here is your problem: > > corsica# nslookup main.wgaf.net > > Thanks.
