dovecot - Nov 2007 - Small typo

Hi, 

There is a small typo in src/lib/network.c line 624

  return "A non-recovable name server error occurred";

should be 
    
  return "A non-recoverable name server error occurred";

Sorry about the pedantry. BTW, I am getting this error whenever I am
trying to resolve a name from inside dovecot, but I can using the system
tools. I am trying to get the proxying code to use hostnames as well as
IP addresses.

-Abhijit.

The problem is most likely that login process is running chrooted.  
login_chroot=no would help. Another way would be to do this in  
dovecot-auth, but if it's done there it should be done asynchronously  
(or in auth worker processes) and doing async dns lookups would  
require some async dns library..

It does - thanks a lot, I had been struggling for hours!

Now, I think I understand why you had not done something like this already.

* Copying some files into the chroot may be one way...
* When you say auth-worker processes, do you mean I need to create a
  separate helper program just to do DNS lookups?

Let me try... :-)

There is one more thing I need to do - create a config variable/file
which contains the list of 'host' values which refer to the local
system - then we will be set.
