Re: Can't get fetchmail to fetch.
Well I don't really know exim, but if you were using sendmail, you'd have to
tell the sendmail config (/etc/sendmail.cf) to accept mail for you domain
and as well as localhost. So I guess it would apply to exim config too. Find
the config file and tell exim to accept mail for localhost
