-
- 1. It is trying to connect to host "mail" (which you set as your UUCP
- and Name relay -- DNmail and DZmail).
-
- 2. It is trying to connect to "mail" via mailer tcplocal.
-
- 3. It cannot connect to or resolve the name "mail".
-
- A quick fix might be to change "mail" to the FQN "mail.Choreo.CA" as
- you have for your general purpose relay (or change DZmail and DNmail
- to DZ$R and DN$R).
