I wrote this: Do you get a single getaddrinfo() failed error? If I (also XP SP2) just unplug my network connection, that's what I get. To trigger it, I had to enter the POP3 address as an IP address and unplug the network connection. I believe that Python's socket module just calls getaddrinfo() on whatever is given, whether domain name or IP address, so it's up to the underlying C library what it does. Perhaps XP's winsock doesn't try the HOSTS file? (Mine only has localhost). Then I clicked: you're using the Outlook plug-in, and I believe everyone that experiences this problem is using sb_server (because the Outlook plug-in doesn't get involved in mail delivery). So unless you are actually using sb_server, you won't be able to reproduce it. =Tony.Meyer _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
