I should file a debian bug, probably. I don't feel like it just now. But here's the ammo, for when I find the fortitude... gerald finds bug report he filed in 2002, with @dirk given as example of bogus msgid :) http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2002-June/msg00180.html <gerald> my /etc/hosts starts: 127.0.0.1 conky.w3.org localhost conky conky.impressive.net <gerald> homer.w3.org is nothing like that and doesn't have fqdn in /etc/hostname , but hostname works fine there. <DanC> why is this deep dark magic? My setup is probably the 80% case for evolution/debian <gerald> yeah, very frustrating <gerald> all I remember is that I did all the right things and it still didn't work, then I mucked with /etc/hosts and that helped somehow. I'd like to see something helpful in the "naming the computer" section of the Debian Reference. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#s-net-name -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
