This is very strange.

Some thing has changed in the last several days, and it was not here.

I am curious why qmail at comcast is complaining about a "misconfigured sender" why it get the message from gentoo. (see below).

I am going to turn it off for a few days...

Hi,

I (lab=Lincoln A Baxter) am now using the the "qconfirm" mail-handling
program, to quarentine mail from all senders whose email addresses
are unknown to me, or whose email addresses I have not explicitly
enabled.
One or more messages from you are being held in my pending queue
because your address was not recognized.  To release your pending 
message(s)
for delivery, please reply to this request. Your reply will not be read,
so an empty message is fine.

If you do not reply to this request, your message(s) will eventually be
returned to you, and will never be delivered to me.
Your confirmation verifies to me (and qconfirm) that your message(s)
is legitimate and not junk-email, and you should never have to do this
again as long as you use the same reply to email address.
If you sent a message to me by doing a "reply all" to a message I sent
to an email list we have both subscribed to, rest assured that I
have read your message from the list.  If you wish(ed) to communicate
with me personally (off list) please reply to this message as indicated
above, and your message will be delivered.
This has virtually eliminated SPAM from my inbox, and I thank you
in advance for helping to keep SPAM from my inbox.
The reason this works is as follows:

SPAMMERS tend not to use real "reply to" addresses.  If they did, we
would be able to find them and sue them for illegally trespassing on
our equipment.
Even if they did use real reply to addresses, they would have to
construct autoresponders (like this program) which would intelligently
do the right thing to get their message through.
SPAM works because it is cheap for the sender, this breaks that
business model.
Eventually qconfirm bounces the unconfirmed messages, and I never have
to look at them.
More information about the qconfirm program can be found at
http://smarden.org/qconfirm/ Note: this URL is just a website not
an information gathering click through so RELAX!
