This sounds suspiciously like it's sandbox(7) related. MacOS does some really stupid things in the name of 'security'. E.g., push a command into the background, and MacOS revokes all network access to/from the process. I wasted a week at Flock, trying to figure out why our Mac buildbot slaves were breaking, because of this stupidity. --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
