This "mail transport" is what the computer uses both to send out mail to others if you use that, and so the system can send mail to *you* about its functioning. It can be switched off, but it is preferable to keep it and solve the problem. The problem is DNS misconfiguration. Make sure that /etc/hosts contains a line like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost If you use another hostname, like "george.mydomain.com" then also add a line like this: 127.0.0.1 george.mydomain.com george Let us know if this works or not.
