You didn't answer my last question, so I did a little investigation of my own. Fortunately (for me), your DNS provider is allowing zone transfers to outside parties (BAD!). An axfr of winnefox.org shows 2 mail servers, "mail" and "storm". A quick check of storm's IP shows no PTR in place. Fix that and your problems disappear. :) -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
