(Whether to reject based on a non-match is a policy issue over which there are endless arguments which don't matter to you...what matters is the end result...a block.) The MTA we use here doesn't log the sending host's name unless, among all the names it gets back from a reverse lookup there is at least one name which contains among its list of IP addresses a match to the actual IP address used. (That's the logging...accept or reject is a matter of policy which is easily configured in that MTA thanks to a variable it makes available. We accept, but allow individual users to block mail from servers with no reverse name at all.) --John ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
