Re: smtpd doesn't start

Try defining your hostname in /etc/hosts
If you have a static address, define it with that address. If it's a
dynamic address, define it as 127.0.1.1

Turns out, you were right, Ted. It is a DNS failure.
Here is the relevant part of ktrace of the smtpd:

And so on.
If I understand correct, the problem is that my DNS server on 192.168.1.1
can't lookup an IP address for "mypcname", which is not a registered
domain name, just cooked-up hostname of the machine running smtpd.
Honestly, I don't know how it could be fixed. Could anybody help me?
