That should never be needed. If your system name resolution config (i.e. traditionally nsswitch.conf, /etc/hosts, and /etc/resolv.conf) does not let you resolve 'localhost' to 127.0.0.1 and/or ::1 (with symmetric reverse lookups) then you have a broken system name resolution config. -- Bill Cole [email protected] or [email protected] (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
