One possibility is that the smtp entry in /etc/inetd.conf is not enabled
(ISTR, that a certain version of the smail package didn't properly enable
this in its postinst script).
Running (as root):
`update-inetd --enable smtp' (no quotes) should fix that (or else it'll
punt safely).
Also, if one wants smail to run standalone, one can edit /etc/init.d/smail
and comment out the "exit 0" line near the top (IIRC, this may be necessary
for it to work at all with fetchmail. It will certainly make fetchmail
perform a bit better even if not required.).
