[Spambayes] HOW DO I SET UP PORTS FOR MULTIPLE SERVERS?

[Jesse Pelton]

Since (by convention) the hosts filename does not include an extension,
Windows is not sure how to open it.  (Don't get me going on the
foolishness of relying on a file's name to tell you how to process it.)
The file is text, though, so you can open it with Notepad, WordPad, or
any other text editor.

OK, thanks I found a file named hosts.  There's also one 
named IMHosts.  Now that I found it, what do I do?
When I try to open it, I'm told to choose the program I want 
to use to open it.

The hosts file on Windows is 
%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, where
%WINDIR% is most commonly c:\windows.

    Nathan> "change your mail client to send and receive

Try replacing it with "127.0.0.1".  Alternatively, check the 
hosts file
on
your computer to make sure it has a definition for 
localhost.  (I'm not
a
Windows person, so I can't begin to guess where that might 
be.)  I've
cc'd
the spambayes mailing list on this reply.  There are many 
others on that
list with more Windows expertise who can help with these 
sorts of
issues.
