Hi everybody,
I ran into the problem described in this thread: <http://
roundhound.com/courier-users/2005/07/msg00223.html>.
After much frustration I had a look at the traffic. I saw that
courier tries to query ident. AFAIK ident is not running by default
on any more or less recent FreeBSD.
After adding the "-noidentlookup" option in esmtpd, stopping and
starting courier, I can now establish an SMTP connection from localhost.
I did not find any reference to this workaround so I'm posting it
here. It might be useful to make "-noidentlookup" a default setting
for the FreeBSD port? What advantage does the ident query have?
Any enlightenment greatly appreciated...
cheers
Fabian
