(well two: 127.0.0.1 and >192.168.0.1) The first sendmail instannce binds to all the IP addresses. That is why the third sendmail instance gives the "Address already in use" error. I assume that the IP address 202.126.106.148 is the one on which you receive mail and it is bound to the NIC. >at this junction in time i might take this opportunity and thank you sm, whole >heartedly for your time and energies in responding to my questions. i think i >shall delay implementing dk-milter & mailscanner till later. if, however, you >do have an idea and would like me to try it then i shall and keep you up to >speed with the results. once again thank you Please see the changes I suggested above.
