First of all, put a subject line in your message other than "help me" or
"readme".

Second, sosco.sco.com is telling you to contact your DNS administrator.  Did
you do that?  You need to have a PTR record. It's pretty clear.

You machine apparently does not have a correct DNS entry.  websco.sco.com
could not do a reverse lookup of your machine's name because apparently
your IP address does not point to one.  Your System Administrator is the
one to contact to get it fixed.

You ought to try again first, though.  Perhaps there was some work being
done on your sites nameserver(s) and as a result websco could not find you.

I was unable to do an nslookup on your machine this morning though.  Does
your machine have a name?
