Courier doesn't require a positive response in order to work. If you have no name servers at all, clients will still be able to connect. However, many problems with delayed connections are caused by a DNS lookup which takes a long time, rather than failing immediately. Even when no name server is available, /etc/hosts isn't used. Rather than arguing that it is, I suggest that you try to understand how Courier's tcpd works. Ask questions if you need to. Your current behavior is rude. > That DNS/hosts not was the problem i said after the first posting in this > direction and the point that made me angry is the following discussion about > dig/nslookup at a time that everyone can see it is not the point > I understand that. Mature people do not need to behave rudely when they are upset. It does not make the situation better. It will not get you better help from the members of this list. It will not help you understand what problems are affecting your installation. Please: Be patient, and be cooperative. You are asking for help on a list of volunteers. Their good will, alone, grants you their assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
