Hi, I'm still struggling with getting my moo to email to people who do
@request <player-name> for <email connection>.  Right now it says:

The system cannot resolve the name of the system you're connected from.
Please send mail to jeanne@swnetworks.com, with the character name
you want.

Unless you plug in an IP address for the email connection, when you get:

#17:suspicious_address, line 24:  Type mismatch
... called from #25:check_player_request check_reregistration, line 36
... called from #10:request_character, line 10
... called from #32:@request*-character @register (this == #93), line 12
(End of traceback)

I saw this in response to someone having a similar problem and looked into
it on my database:

when I did @chmod $string_utils:connection_hostname_bsd -d I found that
$hacker has been recycled!  I did @chown on $string etc. and then @chmod,
but my moo will still not email out.

We also changed from bsd to just plain $string_utils:connection_hostname
and recompiled because we're running system V, but still no luck.

My question now is, is it worth downloading a new core and dumping all my
objects in order to get $hacker (#37) back as it originally is?  Would that
help solve my moo mail problem, or is there something else I can try?

P.S. $network.active is set to q, and the properties are set properly, and we've
also done this:
To enable outbound network connections, recompile the MOO server after
editing options.h so it includes the line:

  #define OUTBOUND_NETWORK

thanks for any help,
