The point is that we should be trying to produce predictable and easily controllable behaviour, keep configuration simple and flexible. If you don't care about IPaddresses James will work fine when you ignore that section, if you do care you can reuse your knowledge of how to configure other aspects of James and plainly see exactly what you should modify. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
