it appears that gnats.netbsd.org rejects
mail sent from NetBSD machines behind a
proxy server (FreeBSD using ppp NAT).
gnats.netbsd.org doesn't accept the email
because it can't lookup the local domain
behind the proxy - but netbsd.org doesn't
mind. eg, if the proxy server is
abc.mytelco.org, and i email from
localmachine.abc.mytelco.org, it
will bounce from gnats.netbsd.org
because it can't do a reverse DNS
lookup on that domain. netbsd.org
doesn't complain. i don't think it
is a local configuration problem, but
more due to the fact that my ISP doesn't
pass DNS requests down to my server.
