Yes, please do. Do so on my behalf as well. I'm behind a firewall and without external DNS, so smail won't accept anymore what fetchmail gets from the pophost. I fixed this by downgrading to an older version of smail which I still happened to have. Maybe some wizardry with procmail as mda would have worked. Or moving to sendmail (at least you can tell that one to not do lookups.) I'm afraid the maintainer can't do very much about this either. Still, I find this a major bug. It will suddenly break many other people's setup when they upgrade to hamm. If this cannot be resolved before hamm gets released, it will be a choice between fully connected smail sites abused by spammers or poorly connected sites unable to receive mail. > BTW: which package has libpcap ?

This is from my /var/lib/dpkg/available (I'm running hamm): Package: libpcap0 Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/libs/libpcap0_0.4a2-2.deb Package: tcpdump Depends: libc6, libpcap0 (>= 0.4-1) Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/net/tcpdump_3.4a4-1.deb Cheers, Joost -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
