 * hi there. I have a wp site, and try to install and configure postie, to post 
   from an email to the site.
    I installed the plugin, i configured it… (not sure
   if i did it well) but, the certain is this : when i tried to test what i did,
   this error appeared :
 * > Connect to Mail Host
   >  Unable to connect. The server said: POP3 connect: Error[
   > 0] [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known]
