Yeah, that works. Thanks. That is one way. I really want to turn off this reverse DNS checking and solve it forever. $ fetchmail -v ... fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=19039 fetchmail: SMTP< 450-4.4.3 defer all mail from '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. fetchmail: SMTP< 450-4.4.3 Sender address target domain 'dd-ceste.si' cannot be verified at this time. fetchmail: SMTP< 450-4.4.3 Reason given was: verify_sender(): DNS error: Host name lookup failure: Connection timed out. fetchmail: SMTP< 450 4.4.3 Try again later. fetchmail: SMTP error: 450 4.4.3 Try again later. fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.3.0 Reset state not flushed $ man smail-config Has a lot of useful info, but I need to figure out which parameter to change. man 5 smail is also useful. Time for bed. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll dig more tomorrow. _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
