IMAP Issues (error / speed)

I'm on a fresh install of OSX (Leopard), and did a macport install of
mutt-devel,
(see bottom of email for config opts).  I had no issues on my OpenBSD machine,
but in moving my .muttrc over to this new machine, there are the
following problems.

1)  When sending an email, it hangs for a while (probably until connect_timeout
 seconds), then gives me the following error (obviously, gmail as the
smtp server):"Could not connect to gmail.com (Can't assign requested
address)."

2)  When starting mutt, it sits on "Looking up imap.gmail.com..." for about 20
seconds before taking me into my default inbox.  I've tried toggling
"imap_check_subscribed" and "imap_list_subscribed", but to no avail.

Any suggestions would be appreciated !
Thanks !

This is likely for the same reason as 2).

The "Looking up..." message says that mutt is waiting for the OS to 
return the IP address for the given host. I guess in your case you have 
some DNS problems unrelated to mutt.

How long does 'host imap.google.com' on the command line take on OS X 
for you?

Re: IMAP Issues (error / speed)

DNS issues indeed.  My router was trying some black magic with DNS
relaying, so I turned it off and explicitly added my DNS servers.
Works like a charm now.  Thanks !
