Arthur,
I overthought the docs and Janos’s posts. References to “piler host”
made me think there had to be a mail server somewhere and not that piler was
capable of handling incoming mail on it’s own. It just didn’t click for me.
That’s why I created the virtual host… to serve as the “piler host.” I saw
Piler’s role as that of a client and not a server, so I expected Piler to reach
out and grab the mail, when it was acting as a server and expecting something
to send it the mail. My bad. All fixed and working fine now :)
