Difficulty asking questions

[chris at i13i.com]

Normally this happens when your mail server doesnt reversly resolve to the
domain name so if mail.i13i.com doesnt reverse to mail.i13i.com
freebsd.org's mailing lists will reject the mail. As this happened when i
was hosting my site using my DSL wasnt until i got a ded that i relaised
what it was.
