 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.
