I am running current and now have difficulty using mail :-(
It seems that mail needs to have a nameserver running, is this true?
I run a small net of 3-6 machines and don't really need that but I would
like to have mail working. Why doesn't mail just use the host tables?
Is this a new "feature" of 8.7.3.1?

thanks
