postfix problem with talktalk?

[Paul Ward]

Hi yeah I did that and it cam back at teh time and it came back with a
response as follows:

[root at server ~]# nslookup googlemail.com
;; reply from unexpected source: 192.168.1.1#2048, expected 192.168.1.1#53
Server:         192.168.1.1
Address:        192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   googlemail.com
Address: 66.249.91.83

As for google mail accepting mail from root they do, I use it all the time
on my server, good for denyhosts ;)
