# Configuration

## Leafnode

Leafnode refuses to start and tells about the hostname!
  A whole documentation file is dedicated to this issue, how to obtain a hostname and how to configure it. Please see README-FQDN for details.

Leafnode refuses my connection!
  You are connecting from outside the same networks that your leafnode server is in. Leafnode by default refuses connections from outside your LAN to prevent your leafnode server from abuse should you forget to configure tcpd or make a mistake when writing your hosts.allow or hosts.deny files.

  Please see config.example for the `allowstrangers` option and how to configure this option. You will have to change the capitalization and write a special number on that line as you put it into your config.

## Clients

Netscape, Mozilla, Beonex
  Netscape Communicator and Mozilla will by default generate the Message-ID from the domain part of your E-Mail address. However, if you have a domain at some big freemailer such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com or gmx.de, this will lead to invalid Message-IDs. As a workaround, go to the Mail & Newsgroups settings and enclose your E-Mail addresses into double quote marks, like this:

       "matthias.andree@gmx.de"

  This will prevent Netscape from generating the invalid Message-ID and leave the generation up to the server.
