FC3 upgrade without booting off cd

[David Bandel]

OK, you didn't show me the DSN, but I'll bet it was: 5.7.1, gmail.com
returned "".

This is a 'no-reverse DNS' error.  Yahoo will do this a _lot_.  Most
of their mail servers aren't reversed.  Apparently, at least one of
gmail's servers isn't reversed properly either (not just not reversed
as a mail server, DNS doesn't return _anything_).  Unfortunately, no
reverse == bogon.

I will be working on this today.  I can short-circuit the check, it
just means I have to maintain everyone in the access.db file.

Aaaaarrrrrgggghhh!
