Well, I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7 on a stand-alone computer and I am trying to setup QMAIL. I installed the latest version from the ports section and when I run /var/qmail/configure/config I get the following output: Your hostname is: mylastname.myisp.com soft error Sorry, I couldn't find your hosts canonical name in DNS You will have to setup control/me yourself DNS works fine when I am connected to the 'net, and I followed every word from the Handbook under the PPP Section. Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do so I can configure Qmail? Thanks for your help, Mark Barbisan.
