This is the error I am having trouble with:
//
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/local/libexec/fetchmailconf.bin", line 1763, in ?
hostname = socket.gethostbyaddr(socket.gethostname())[0]
socket.error: no address associated with hostname.
//
This specific error is from the fetchmailconf script distributed with
the fetchmail port - but I have encounted this error before (IIRC,
when sending local mail using sendmail (w/ default FreeBSD config)).
I am running fetchmailconf from a machine inside a private LAN
with the IP address 192.168.40.5 (yes, sorry, not RFC 1918 compliant
AFAIK, but I made that mistake a LONG time ago and it would be a pain
to fix it now). The other boxen in this network are at 192.168.40.x,
with the (Internet) gateway at 192.168.40.1
I am running FreeBSD 3.4 STABLE with a pretty fresh (2 hour old)
install (so it is quite possible I have forgotten to configure something)..
Thanks in advance,
Neil
