Running "host" only looks at DNS since it's a tool that comes with BIND. You need to use the system call gethostbyname() to do a name->IP lookup using nsswitch. I'm not sure why you have something doing DNS only and looking up "localhost" as a name though. I don't think SA is doing that. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: You tell 'em Cat, That's what you're fur. _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
