Topic: dns error when fetchmail from pop account

[Joanne Smith]

I'm running a freshly installed 4©1©
I am trying to use the box to collect mail from a multidrop POP account©  I have completed the admin page giving the correct name of the server pop©myisp©com©

I am getting the following error:
fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name of pop?myisp?com

I've set the IP address of my ISP's domain name server  during hte configuration process©  When I go through the config process again on the console it doesn't show the IP address of the ISP DNS©  Is this something to do with the problem?

The copyright symbols are also confusing©  They were typed as periods on the email admin page©  Also sometimes when accessing the webpages stored in the primary bay full stops/periods appear as copyright symbols but not always©

Sorry, I know I've asked a number of questions©  Thankyou in advance for any help you are able to offer©

I bet your using a version of mozilla to access your e-smith box configuration web pages.

Try using an old version of netscape and i bet the problem goes away!

I had a similar problem with the creation of virtual domains.  Using netscape solved them!
