>Description:
See error messages below.  The PR submission system, when using send-pr, now insists on reverse DNS to my station--something that I'm powerless to cause to happen (and fundless too).  This means send-pr cannot be used by me anymore.  Since I maintain several ports, this is very burdensome because the web PR interface is inadequate (does not allow all choices in Class, some fields not even provided, no attachments, etc.).  I'll do the best I can, but this is a serious PITA!

>Fix:
What is the justification for reverse DNS?  Stops SPAM--just look at the lists and it's apparent that it doesn't even slow the SPAMmers down.  Alternately, improve the web interface so it provides the functionality necessary for a maintainer to use it (attachments, the ability to have copies forwarded to committer e-mails, full use of data fields, etc.).  Or mark maintainers as "special" in the reverse DNS derby.  Just please do something.  THANKS!

 This has always been that way.  If your workstation can not properly
 resolve forward and backward, you need to forward all outgoing mail to a
 "mail relay".  This is probably not a PR in itself.  Care to contact me or
 freebsd-questions without following up to this PR for help in setting up
 your mail forwarding?

 I DO forward to a mail relay.  Until recently (over a year), this 
 worked.  Now, freebsd.org rejects PR's from me.

 What does your sendmail configuration include?  Mind you, I had to set up
 masquerading and make all outgoing email have an envelope address from a
 valid email account in order to make send-pr to work correctly.

 Incredibly, I was able to get send-pr to work today.  Nothings changed 
 on this end.  :)

 Since my configuration hasn't changed (and I presume FreeBSD's hasn't 
 either), I can only conclude that something downstream of me screwed 
 things up.  But I'm working now, so this PR should be closed.
