I had attacked this by a circuitous route, putting the ip address in the bookmark because I did not have an entry in /etc/hosts. When I got to putting an entry in /etc/hosts I did not change the bookmark. So ... Yes, that is totally correct. I am leaving it like that for the moment to ensure there are no issues, and I can modify my FAQ 4.88 to reflect this. Whatever else, for any one implementing a relay server it seems the best way rather than have them editing away at key coding files. > > > At the moment removing the 'absolute=1' entries does the job 100%. > > > If you do notice any issues related to this, please let me know.
