  • ERROR

    From Greg Meckel@1:153/143 to All on Wed Apr 16 08:26:38 2025
    I have set up a wwiv board and am having an issue. I see the board is trying to call out, but when I run the command in another window I am seeing an error, which is why I am not getting mail sent. The error is:
    ERROR calling getaddrinfo: 11001.

    Anyone have some idea as to what may be wrong?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Greg

    From google:
    The "ERROR calling getaddrinfo: 11001" error typically indicates that the program or application is unable to resolve a hostname to an IP address. This usually means there's a problem with your DNS server or your computer's ability to communicate with it, preventing the program from establishing a connection.

    ... not knowing your setup, i would verify that you can resolve and ping the host and port combination that you have configured.

    Good luck.
