Epager question

[Nolan Martin]

Yes, Metrocall does do a reverse lookup.

If you configure your sendmail with an organization that ties to a
valid MX record, you should be in good shape.

RE: mail notifications).

It looks like page.metrocall.com might be checking the name of the host
 
that is sending the mail...

Do you have valid forward and reverse records set up for your host?

Is k1044nm.shsystem.org actually the name of your host?

I could be completely wrong though... can anyone else elaborate?
