Jeff, about a week ago you posted a possible workaround, that at least seemed to play more nice with buggy glibc: Remove all unnecessary chars from /etc/hosts -- that means any comments, blank lines and additional spaces. Full post in archives: http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2003-June/030217.html Fernando: I dunno if that will solve your problem, but it will be worth a try. As this bug seems to be related to /etc/hosts (do you actually use this local file for resolving SMTP server?) you can try removing this local line and instead use a DNS server. ...guenther -- char *t="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}} _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
