Perhaps you can help me. I installed ATK4 from the X11 release tape and everything worked fine. I applied patches 1 and 2 and things were still honky-dorry. Then, I applied the latest patch (we're at 3 now, right?) and now Messages doesn't recognize that our system uses the Name Resolver for mail address. I have verified that NAME_RESOLVER in the ./config directory IS defined and never undefined. Perhaps a clue: before this problem arose, I discovered an error in the compile whereby the symbol dn_skip() came up undefined. I back-tracked this problem to a file in the ./overhead/mail/lib directory whereby I needed to force DN_SKIP to be dn_skipname() rather than dn_skip(). Why I think the NAME_RESOLVER is the problem: When I send a message to a foreign host, even one that ends in .edu, I must verify that that hosts exists. I definitely did not have to do this before. Local hosts that I know are in our /etc/hosts file never cause problems. Any ideas? Can I give you more info? - Anthony
