For anyone who's been following the Reverse DNS thread ... here's an
error message I received for some mail that was successfully downloaded
but failed to be delivered, seemingly because the software couldn't
resolve the sender's name.

The .fetchmailrc entry for this particular connection is:
poll 216.121.7.247 proto pop3 no dns envelope X-SMTP-Envelope:
     user USER with pass PASSWORD is britlinks here

Any help would be very gratefully received. I'm getting very tired
of using win98 for my e-mail system.

James.
