Re: Sendmail on RH9

You probably are going to have a problem with this.  What is happening is
the listserv is looking up your name and comparing it to the IP address.
If they don't match, and they won't unless you register your name on the
internet.

Your other choice is to bounce the mail off of your ISP server.
