Hello, I have configured linux as an email server useng sendmail and qpopper (POP3). All works fine! In my maillog file I find this entry from qpopper: Jun 2 07:35:38 mydomain qpopper[1078]: (v3.0.2) Unable to get canonical name of client 63.162.216.21: Unknown host (1) Can somebody explain me what this means, and how to take care of this? in my inet.conf file: pop3 stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/lib/popper/popper qpopper -s -R Is there something in here (syntax?) that should be different? Thanks for your help

It simply means that there is no reverse DNS listing for the IP address 63.162.216.21. For example: $ nslookup 63.162.216.21 Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 *** localhost can't find 63.162.216.21: Non-existent host/domain In other words--it's not a problem. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michael | mfaurot | Walk softly and carry a big stick.
