Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 (stable) Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Daniel (doolyo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: host_name tag doesn't allow IP addresses Initial Comment: Hello. I have realised that we cannot put an IP address in the 'host_name' tag. Normally, we can send an e-mail from a client to a server that doesn't have a domain name by just putting it's IP address into square brackets like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This works, especially if you have put the same IP address on the destination server in your /etc/mail/local- host-names file on one line (for Sendmail): [142.56.2.72] Now the problem is that if we specify the IP address into square brackets in the 'host_name' tag, then the resolved hostname is returned in the e-mail address instead of this square brackets IP address. I have tried several backslashes like '', [], "", %5B and % 5D but nothing does. Square brackets are still correct to the standard, so I think that this is a bug.

I have tested both Mailman 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 and they accept a host_name of the form [142.56.2.72] on the General Options page with no problem. Is your issue that you can't get General Options to accept a numeric IP in square brackets, or that it is accepted, but it gets 'changed' somewhere else. Please clarify, and if the latter, please be specific about where you observe the 'change'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1268939&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
