I am a real novice  (~2hours into it).  Does anyone have
diagnosis or fix for the following problem.

I (for the first time) installed ListServ 1.8d.  It all appeared to go
nominally, until. . . . . . I tried to start the services.   I get the following report in
SMTPS#1----------.LOG:

26 Mar 1999 08:35:52 >>> Cannot resolve SMTP host
'LISTSERV.OPM.GOV', will try again in 1 minute <<<

26 Mar 1999 08:36:52 >>> Cannot resolve SMTP host
