Re: Fetchmail error

["Srikrishnan Chitoor" <krishnan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is not an external problem. What fetchmail does is get messages from
POP3 Server and delver it to your local SMTP daemon (at port 25).

  That's where the error seems to be. Try "telnet localhost 25" and if you
cannot connect, your SMTP mailer is screwed up. You can try installing the
mailer again (sendmail or whichever one you use).

Hope his helps,
