Yes, i think the problem is here. Qmail doesn't look at /etc/hosts. I think that I
should configure a DNS server on my own PC on the
LAN. I'll try it.
Bye
Thanks

Subject: Re: Mutt and Qmail problems
Have you set up your /etc/hosts properly?
I had about the same problem with Sendmail and this was because Sendmail
ALWAYS queries the DNS first. Since I don't have my own DNS-server, I had
to put this in my /etc/sendmail.cf:
O ServiceSwitchFile=/etc/service.switch
The /etc/service.switch file contains:
hosts files
aliases files
The word "files" means to look in /etc/hosts.
Sorry, but I don't have any experiences with Qmail, but I thought the
problem my just be more or less the same.
