I've been getting the following message in /var/log/messages ever since I installed qpopper on my system:
Dec 2 13:09:35 inetgw in.qpopper[742]: (v2.2) Unable to get canonical name of client, err = 0 Everything works fine, but I always get that message - filling up the log files.... Anyway, I finally found the solution to this problem.... All clients on my LAN are retrieving mail from mail.<dn> which is resolvable via DNS and is the same system as inetgw (identified in log entry above). (named is also on this same box, fwiw.) Anyway, I solved this problem by adding an entry for "mail mail.<dn>" in /etc/hosts..... Now, no more log entries.... Can anyone tell me why qpopper couldn't resolve the mail.<dn> name via DNS and requires an entry in /etc/hosts? Design limitation?
