I have that, but chose sendmail rather than smail, so the FAQ-O-MATIC wasn't much help. My current state is: when I rune fetchmail, it responds: fetchmail: 36 messages at mail.my_isp.net reading message 1 of 36 (1732 bytes) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed: connection refused fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.my_isp.net I've attached my .fetchmailrc (or a reasonable facsimile thereto) > > And if you have a dynamic IP account, also change the > visible name to your ISP's domain name (for example, > isp.com) without the "@" symbol or the username.
