The problem AFAIK is that exim squirts error messages down the SMTP
connection to fetchmail. fetchmail then goes "bleah" and quits. Just
filed a bug against exim stating this. A quick test via "telnet localhost
25" works fine.
well - it would except that my box can't resolve localhost :( IP address
work, "gryphon" works, but localhost is no go. strace doesn't even think
it's groking /etc/hosts. Wierd.
