Thanks Brian! You got me going in the right direction. I probably should have mentioned that this running in a FreeBSD jail.
I read the archive reference you gave and pulled and compiled gethostbyaddr & gethostbyname. I haven't used c in long time so I was pretty impressed with myself getting these to compile. ;) So here is what I got. SWI.spellwellinc.com:~ kenhat: ./gethostbyaddr 74.86.26.64 host 74.86.26.64 not found SWI.spellwellinc.com:~ kenhat: ./gethostbyname swi.spellwellinc.com Hostname: swi.spellwellinc.com Aliases: Addresses: 74.86.26.64 SWI.spellwellinc.com:~ kenhat: I copied these programs to my master server (not a jail) and get the same results. While I'm further along with my debugging I'm still not sure how to fix it. Any help appreciated... Also would this cause the assorted email ISP out there to classify my email as junk? Is postfix passing on the warning message to the far end smtp? That doesn't seem right. Anyway thanks for the help ken So if I'm reading this right the warning message is coming from postfix.
