Are you talking about the instructions above, putting the 'mt' user in
users/assign and so forth? If so, I can't see how that is related,
since those changes have nothing to do with tmda-ofmipd. They are
related to qmail, which tmda-ofmipd knows nothing about.

This error means that 'open2web.com' can't be resolved to an IP
address. I think I mentioned before that I believe your name
resolution (DNS, /etc/hosts) may be somewhat screwed on the machine.
I think that before attempting anything else with tmda-ofmipd, you
need to get that figured out. If you want some help, post the
following.
1) The contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf
2) The contents of /etc/resolv.conf
3) The contents of /etc/hosts
4) The output of "hostname"
5) The output of "dig `hostname`"
6) The output of "dig open2web.com"
I'll try to give you a hand figuring out what's really happening
here.

This happens sometimes when Python is compiled on certain Linux
systems. The path compiled into the module often doesn't even exist
-- /var/tmp/blahblah/lib/python/.... I think, although I don't run
Linux and can't speak authoritatively, that it's related to where the
RPM was compiled before being installed into the final location. It's
not a problem in any case, it just looks weird.

That's because (if I recall correctly) it binds to otto.open2web.com,
which apparently *can* be resolved to some IP address, although I
think we discovered that it isn't the public one, that is, it's not
what the world sees when they query open2web.com (64.235.236.143).

Again, if you're talking about the qmail changes, there's no way this
can be so. Perhaps you made some other changes along the way?
