I'm now subscribed to -questions, as well. -- [please cc any replies, as I'm not not subscribed to -questions..] Ok, yesterday things got wierd. My workstation at work is running 4.0-R, and I recently changed the IP address. I kept the old IP bound as well, for a few weeks, just in case. Well, yesterday i removed the old address from the NIC, and things broke. At least, that is when i noticed them breaking. fetchmail stopped retrieving my mail. The error that fetchmail gives is: fetchmail: reading message 1 of 321 (2776 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: POP3> QUIT fetchmail: POP3< Ken, fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Ok, wierd sez I. think that is wierd? damoe:/home/keen%> telnet damoe.wireless-isp.net damoe.wireless-isp.net: No address associated with hostname damoe:/home/keen%> ssh damoe.wireless-isp.net Host key not found from the list of known hosts.

I've tried all of the nameservers i have handy, including the one running on the workstation...nada. I cant seem to find a way to get telnet to give me anything more verbose for the error, though. I find nothing of it in the logs, either. Suggestions?? Fyi, I did try adding the old IP back to the NIC, same thing. Even swapped everything back to the old ip scheme...nada. What am i missing? I've changed IP addresses on many FreeBSD boxen since 3.0-R...(what can I say, I was a bsd/os guy before that..;) with never a problem..at least not such as this.
