LWQ> G.6. qmail doesn't use /etc/hosts.
LWQ> ----------------------------------
LWQ> qmail never uses /etc/hosts to determine the IP address
LWQ> associated with a host name. If you use names in control
LWQ> files, qmail must have access to a name server.
LWQ> It is possible to run qmail on systems without access to a
LWQ> name server, though. Hosts in control files can be specified
LWQ> by IP address by enclosing them in square brackets ([]),
LWQ> e.g.:
LWQ> [10.1.2.219]
LWQ> Actually, the square brackets aren't always necessary--but
LWQ> it's a good idea to use them anyway.
