Re: Mozilla downloads don't use stub - a hint?

BTW, I get this message back from your mail server when I email you directly:

<[email protected]>: host awing.aoltw.net[64.236.222.12] said: 550 5.7.1
    Access denied. IP name possibly forged [64.136.147.120]

Don't know why it would be saying this.  It's my own mail server and the IP
address is correct.
