fetchmail won't connect to port 25

[Stephen K Myers <stevem@scn.org>]

Greetings All,

I saw a post about this awhile back but I didn't see a response.
fetchmail can't connect port 25 on the localhost.  I get the 
following:

fetchmail: 3.8.0 querying mail.blarg.net (protocol POP3) at Fri Nov 28 15:31:32 1997
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Cubic Circle's v1.14 1997/04/11 POP3 ready <424200004b547f34@animal.blarg.net>

fetchmail: SMTP connect to (null) failed
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< Hi,
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.blarg.net
fetchmail: normal termination, status 9

fetchmail can't seem to find the hostname of the localhost. I've tried
the -S host option and that seems to work, but I'd like to know why
it can't find port 25 of the localhost.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
Steve Myers.
