Re: [SAtalk] Mailer daemon mail in whitelist

[mairhtin]

Hello,

Great to hear! Is xanadu.evi-inc.com *YOUR* dns machine? my machine is named mail.techsolutionsgroupllc.com, so I suppose that the correspondant line would be :

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail.techsolutionsgroupllc.com

since mail.techsolutionsgroupllc.com is our DNS server as well as our mail server (DMZ and all that).

Am I on the right track?
