1. If anyone is using SuSE's spam filters, can you see this message? 2. Does anyone know how to write an exception? Apparently, SuSE's filters are blocking my mail because the machine sending the mail has a name that is not resolvable outside of my LAN (kahoolawe.gtoft.penguinpowered.com, or molokai.gtoft.penguinpowered.com). I've tried using an alias in Sendmail, but I end up with molokai.yahoo.com, which won't resolve either, and I really DON'T want to rename my machine to "mail", which would then send out e-mail from mail.yahoo.com (spoofing). Any ideas on this one? Aloha! and Happy 2000. -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com "Windows [2000] introduces the Command Line Interface.

Well I'm seeing it because SuSE mailing list sent it. My sendmail automatically junks all yahoo mail so direct mail wouldn't make it.

Is that SuSE or just Sendmail? Many machines won't take address that don't resolve. I assume gtoft.penguinpowered.com is registered with penguinpowered.com [linux.com?] Why not use that?

SuSE. One member has isolated it and let me know that all of my posts to the group are being deleted by the SuSE Spam Filters.

It is. Here's nslookup from a remote machine: $ nslookup gtoft.penguinpowered.com Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: gtoft.penguinpowered.com Address: 24.31.72.10
Why not use that?
Because it's free and a24b31n72client10.hawaii.rr.com is subject to change. If I assumed the hawaii.rr.com domain, molokai.hawaii.rr.com still won't resolve. As you can see, gtoft.penguinpowered.com and a24b31n72client10.hawaii.rr.com are the same machine. -- George Toft http://www.georgetoft.com The more I use Linux, the harder Windows becomes to use.
