Is it a problem with the FQDN? On re-reading the FAQ, I changed the |
| 93 |
hostname as I don't own gmail.com, but I *do* have an account with |
| 94 |
gmail, so... |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
I also have a thread on news.softwear.readers, pardon for the |
| 97 |
multiposting. I was just trying to address the telnet issue here. |
| 98 |
Most of what's been written in reply goes over my head. |
