Saying "sendto() failed" is only useful to people who have been working with the code a while. Also, saying "no route to host $thehostItried" would have been immensely helpful since it would actually come out and *tell* the sysadmin which host there is no route to, but I expect that's an entirely different bit of code or even another program entirely that's coming up with that error. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/So-you-wanted-to-firewall-your-mail-server...-tf3729493.html#a10440500 Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
