    Yup, that's a problem.

    Is there a FreeBSD expert out there who can tell me what I've missed?

    Not until you tell us what the domain name is so we can tell you what
    you're doing wrong. Most likely your sendmail setup is fine, but your
    SPF and DKIM configations are missing or wrong.


    This hostname is www.zefox.net, which makes the domain zefox.net IIUC. >>Nameservice is provided by ns1.zefox.net and ns2.zefox.net, also FreeBSD >>hosts running bind9.18 from packages.

    I never did set up MX records for any of my domains (zefox.net, zefox.com >>and zefox.org) but it hasn't caused trouble up to now.

    Thanks for writing!

    The advice I would give has already been provided in the thread.

    Can you post a link or reference? Hopefully I missed something.
    The name John Levine isn't among my correspondents.

    It's literally in the message you sent.

    Track the attributions for his name.
