Ok... then it is no longer stopping the emails... sorry to alarm everyone. And for those that care (because I know some of you do), what prompted this was the bounce message I got from my mail server when it failed to deliver the message. I got one when I tried to reply to a message (sunday night?) and then I sent a test Monday to confirm and got the following as a rejection reason: >Failed to deliver your message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]: >SMTP: The From Path rejected by host >Host 'mx1.eskimo.com' says: >551 unresolvable relay host name [204.180.162.125]; check your reverse-IP >configuration. I took that as "you have no reverse DNS record, so we are rejecting your email". Now maybe there is something else that was causing it, and it is just a less than helpful message (which is in itself not uncommon to find). In the case of this IP, the ISP has no reverse records at all. They don't point to anything, and thus won't resolve at all. So it is possible that others could still post if their rDNS has SOME kind of record (which most ISPs at least put something in there... my work ISP just sucks). I didn't get a chance to test that theory. Any way, it seems to have stopped. Maybe Eskimo never intended to turn it on at all, but did so by accident, and just caught it... or maybe they did nothing and there was some other vodoo going on. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
