You might try to investigate the issue first.
Try "http://www.dnsreport.com";, and see if any red flags appear in the MX record section, or in another area that might affect mail. Its a common technique to reject mail from domains that do not follow the RFC specs.


Also, you might try to send word about this to the postmaster of freebsd.org.

I tried to file a bug for one of my -CURRENT machines using send-pr and got the following result back:

Presumably this means that the mailer is trying to reverse lookup my hostname, and it doesn't exist. That's true, as I have been experimenting with this stuff behind my firewall on my private net.

Fine. I'll file a bug via the web interface.

Go to:

http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html


The web-based bug interface is currently disabled.



This is annoying. A user is already peeved that FreeBSD has a bug, and now the bug sending mechanism has a bug. In addition, the web bug submission is offline.

The send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should not have failed in the
first place. Even if [EMAIL PROTECTED] needs spam
protection, all of the emails coming into it have a signature which makes
spam analysis incredibly easy. Please reopen FreeBSD-gnats-submit so that it accepts all input and rejects based upon content.


Another idea is to rewrite send-pr so that it submits bug reports directly
to a port on a server somewhere.  Using port 80 and a dedicated receive
server would get around firewalling issues.

The alternative is to reopen the web form. However, I find send-pr much more useful (less cutting and pasting).

Submitting a bug report should be the easiest, most robust and error free
task the system carries out.

Thanks,
