upgrading from popclient to fetchmail in 1.3

[Bob Nielsen <nielsen@primenet.com>]

I recently upgraded to 1.3 and replaced popclient with fetchmail.  When I
try to run fetchmail, my ISP is connected and when attempting to retrieve
mail, I get the error message:

reading message 1 (2679 bytes) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to (null) failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from pop.primenet.com

here is my ~/.fetchmailrc file:

poll pop.primenet.com proto pop3 user USERNAME pass PASSWORD

----

I don't understand the smtp error message.  I am using the default smail
installation as my MDA.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Bob
