True. Another problem which I've had on occasion, although it doesn't sound as if this is Viktor's problem, is with firewall configuration. If the default INPUT policy is DROP, and localhost and there's no firewall rule allowing it, then localhost traffic will be blocked. This more or less applies to Linux, although any OS with configurable kernel-based firewall rules will probably have similar properties. Viktor, when this happens, does "ifconfig" show an existing localhost interface, "lo" or "lo0"? -- Lindsay Haisley | "UNIX is user-friendly, it just FMP Computer Services | chooses its friends." 512-259-1190 | -- Andreas Bogk http://www.fmp.com | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list courier-users@lists.sourceforge.net Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
