LEO can communicate with 127.0.0.1 2. 127.0.0.1 can communicate with sendmail OK, now I remember ! LEO, altho 'running on Linux [being a port of standAlone Oberon] doesn't use the *nix tcp-stack. It's got a `ppp` module which talks to a serial-port module which talks to the dial-up modem. The whole intention of 'hiding the complexity' has succeeded in fooling me. As a great believer in 'successive refinement' I note that by just pasteing/importing my LEO composed text into the <what's its name> mailer, I'm simulating <sending it to a MTA> so that should work. The problem is that I don't get any feed-back from `sendmail` and my connection/testing costs are high. > HTH, > s. >
