The workaround for that is to recompile the kernel with IPv6 support, or just fix /etc/modutils/aliases if you are running a stock kernel-image-2.2.*. Also, the config files that it generates are broken, there is a typo in the macro for received_header_text. I've since switched to qmail (helping with empath, a KDE mailer with Maildir only support), could someone track down the error and file a bug? -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
