Here you see my /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.1 mail.urbakken.dk mail www ftp 192.168.1.254 mail1.urbakken.dk mail1.urbakken.dk 83.91.50.39 wan.urbakken.dk wan.urbakken.dk 192.168.1.239 mail2.urbakken.dk mail2.urbakken.dk 192.168.1.101 mail3.urbakken.dk mail3.urbakken.dk 192.168.1.6 mail4.urbakken.dk mail4.urbakken.dk 192.168.1.7 win98.urbakken.dk win98 192.168.1.100 mail5.urbakken.dk mail5.urbakken.dk 192.168.1.9 linux.urbakken.dk linux<-----This is the computer I try fetchmailconf on. 192.168.1.4 lajka.urbakken.dk lajka 192.168.1.14 w2000.urbakken.dk w2000
Why do you have localhost.localdomain and then have other hosts as host.urbaken.dk. You are trying to use two different domain names on the same computer. Change the localhost entry to just: 127.0.0.1 localhost The file is defined as follows (example): IP address FQDN alias ---------- ---- ----- 192.168.1.101 mail3.urbaken.dk mail3 No need to put the FULL domain name a second time as the second (or more) entries per line are aliases. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
