By "I am 207.105.42.71" Do you mean you, your desktop machine, you your mail server, you your firewall machine? Which machine is it exactly that is 207.105.42.71. Your information is very thin. > Can anyone tell me what this is saying to me? Its saying (I assume from the info) it can't reverse lookup 207.105.42.71 to get a hostname. Try adding an entry into /etc/hosts on the offending machine (that is the one that has that log message) listing its hostname. Something like 207.105.42.71 hostname.domainname.com hostname If the problem is still there, then the mail programme may be attempting a Domain Name Service lookup, which is a bit more complicated to fix.
