I just ran into this myself and realized after some thought that I had configured exim **after** its installation (i.e. not during the apt-get "routine"). Exim had not been started, so fetchmail failed. It took a reboot later to discover that I needed to run update-rc.d exim defaults to make it stay that way... ;-) Perhaps your MTA is in the same boat?? HTH, Kenward
