This is what I am seeing on the server syslog.  Every half hour or so, I get
two messages:

smap[21550]: 205.240.25.2 host address lookup failed
smap[21550]: connect host=unknown/205.240.25.2

This is the Pond's (pond.net) IP address.  Apparently SMAP is trying to find
out the domain name associated with the IP address, so it can determine if
they are one of the sites that we don't want spamming us.  This
inverse DNS lookup is failing.  I can test this inverse lookup with
the nslookup program, which also fails for this address.  All other
addresses I try are successful. Any idea what might be causing this?

Please e-mail me if you have a fix: tecsupport@uswest.net

Thanks,
Eric
