I want to config exactly that checking in my mail server =) . How you
did it? . BTW .. I didn't want to start all this discussion but is very
simmilar to the one we are haveing here!!. From my paranoid view I can't
trust anything I can't double check!!

11/23/2001 09:00:17: [22870] remote HELO: rejected: invalid operand:
'roam.psg.com': from root@ source [147.28.4.2]: no DNS A records for the
hostname 'roam.psg.com' match the address [147.28.4.2].

The A RR for the name your mailer used is clearly pointing to a
very different address:

    $ host -a roam.psg.com
    roam.psg.com            A       147.28.0.10


You don't even have a valid PTR to at least pretend that there's some
relationship to "roam.psg.com" and where your mailer really connected
from.

(BTW, please also honour the "reply-to:" header, at least if you intend
to reply to the list as well -- that way you won't get another bounce
from my mailer! ;-)
