sendEmail trying to use ipv6

Thanks Karl,

Looks like you're The Man!

My /etc/hosts file is now:-

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       ServerIII

# For cron->rsync backup script etc.
192.168.2.102   desktop

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters



So it looks like the localhost in the ::1 line for some reason started
to cause confusion. Happily my reminders by email is running again. I
wrote it to keep a record file of the day since the epoch on which it
last ran, so all I needed to do was edit that file to subtract 30 from
that number to get it to repeat the last month.

Thanks

Dave
