Solution A: It's working with the change to 127.0.0.1. Solution B: I suspect that maild runs in a chroot environment (would this be /var/ossec - the installation dir?) If the file /etc/hosts is not present in this chroot environment, localhost can not be resolved. In any case, it also works with the localhost entry if I copy /etc/hosts to /var/ossec/etc/hosts Copying /etc/hosts during installation would avoid similar problems.
