So I am not the only one!
After an upgrade on Nov 4 I had the same problem for a day. Tried
everything. Finally removed the following from /etc/hosts
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
# (added automatically by netbase upgrade)
#::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
And fetchmail could again communicate with localhost.
Why? I have no idea at this point.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
