In fact I make it a point to install packages via apt unless it can't be helped such as the beta of fetchmail I'm currently running. The odd/bad thing about this whole mess is that the issue of queries to isipp and bb.barracuda have been going on for quite awhile now. I just finally decided to try and do something about it. The issue with the isipp query going to the incorrect ip only started a few days ago though. -- Chris KeyID 0xE372A7DA98E6705C 31.11972; -97.90167 (Elev. 1092 ft) 08:49:39 up 12:02, 1 user, load average: 2.38, 1.31, 0.93 Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, kernel 4.10.0-35-generic
