Errr, has everyone been paying attention here? Here are some Cliff Notes: - The current code works (AFAIK) on all non-broken system configurations (short names with proper canonicalization available, long names, whatever) - The original email wasn't complaining about it not working, he was just complaining about a delay (which really boiled down to, hey, how come it's not using /etc/hosts?) - My suggestion was that perhaps using AI_ADDRCONFIG would avoid the DNS lookup, which I believe would solve the original complaint (the original user was using IPv6 only, and it was looking up an A record). --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
