Hi,
I had the same problem. The solution was to enter -S localhost as a
additional option to fetchmail.
I can telnet localhost 25 fine and type in a mail manualy and I can
resolve localhost. So I don't know why this doesn't work without -S
localhost.
However, it works, so I am happy with it :-)
Ciao,
Martin
