Winpoint tried to connect but the        TK> server did not answer. :D              Only on IPv6. If WP had also tried the IPv4 address resolved from the same       host name, it would have succeeded...              Bye, Wilfred.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.1.0.18-B20170815        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 106/201 124/5016 129/331 153/757 7715 203/0 221/0 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/111 112 113 317 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 280/5555 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 341/234 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 280/464 712/848 229/426           |
