Can't get fetchmail to fetch.
I have recently installed Debian slink. I have successfully configured
Exim and I can send email out to my isp mailhost using Mutt but I can't
get fetchmail to successfully retrieve any email from it. When I run the
following command :
% fetchmail -a -k -v >& fetchmail.log
% cat fetchmail.log
I get the following output:
fetchmail: 4.6.4 querying mailhub.icx.net (protocol POP3) at Thu May 6

I sent a test message from my account at
copelandm@ten-nash.ten.k12.tn.us to my icx.net account.
My machine is named 'dharma' . The problem seems to be the "@localhost"
. I don't know if it is fetchmail that is doing it or if it is Exim. Any
solutions.
Thank you,
Monte
