Re^2: CPAN::Reporter and SMTP-server

sure, that's what i find in my log:
refused: Dynamic IP Addresses See: 451 http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?ip

that's what i get if i don't use a mailserver:
Dec 16 12:53:04 my-computers-hostname postfix/smtp[32033]: 231904AAE8: to=<cpan-testers@perl.org>, relay=mx.develooper.com[63.251.223.176], delay=432669, status=deferred (host mx.develooper.com[63.251.223.176] said: 450 Could not resolve my-computers-hostname.local (in reply to MAIL FROM command))

That second message (which you get if you don't use a mailserver) probably means that whatever module is sending mail is sending the message from `you@my-computers-hostname.local`. If you could fix that, maybe it would send; see which module it's using (somebody suggested two elsewhere in this thread), and see how the mail domain is configured. My first guess would be that it's in `/etc/hosts`. Good luck! -- sgifford's Web page	[reply] [d/l] [select]

My first guess would be that it's in /etc/hosts. well, in /etc/hosts it says name.local for my eth1 interface address (and localhost for 127.0.0.1). to what should i set it instead? i tried to set it to my dyndns hostname, restarted postfix, but still the message in the log says `Could not resolve name.local (in reply to MAIL FROM command))` (i guess this is offtopic now)	[reply] [d/l]
