smail is refusing connections by fetchmail... there are no error messages
in any of the smail log files. I'm using the smail package from
bo-updates on Debian/hamm w/ procmail... Anyone have an idea on what is
wrong?
Usually this is caused by DNS problems; i.e., fetchmail tries to
connect to the local machine through its DNS name, but the DNS name
doesn't point to a real machine so it gets a connection refused error.
Workaround: Add
mda "/usr/sbin/smail -oem YOUR-USERNAME"
to the end of each `poll' line in .fetchmailrc.
