Do you have a NIC running? Then you also have to add it's IP. Ciao, Martin -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

In looking into the same problem, somewhere in the smail docs I found a mention that pine is somewhat broken and that the fix for this is to use: smtp_hello_broken_allow=127* Note: running smailconfig resets this, so you will need to re-edit the file after running this.

errors in hamm upgrade
I performed the hamm upgrade using Craig's script (all went fine) and letting dselect do it's thing. I had a scare when e2fsck wouldn't work after I rebooted, but was able to install a few remaining packages and get it to work. I have two remaining problems (at least until I try installing some more stuff): 1. I get the following error when trying to install libc6-dev with dselect: Unpacking libc6-dev (from .../devel/libc6-dev_2.0.6-2.deb) ... dpkg: error processing debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/devel/libc6-dev_2.0.6-2.deb (--install): trying to overwrite `/usr/include/ndbm.h', which is also in package libgdbmg1-dev dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/devel/libc6-dev_2.0.6-2.deb DPKG ERROR Should I use --force? 2. When trying to send a message from pine, I get: [Error sending: 501 HELO requires a valid host name as operand: 'localhost' ] I have 'localhost' configured as the smtp server in pine, which used to send the message through smail and then to my ISP as smarthost. This worked in bo. Has something changed?
