As far as I am aware, the requirements have not changed. If localhost is resolvable natively, for instance via 'ping localhost', then the intent is that this should be resolve fine within James too. > > It sounds exactly as the problem I had with fetchmail too. > I've put a patch in JIRA > > http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-300 Given the extra information above, I agree that it may well be the same issue. But based on both of your experiences the issue may be more complex than at first thought, or we may have more than one issue.
