The output of `fetchmail --verbose' would help too, as well as your
.fetchmailrc (without your password).

But anyway, I think the problem is that fetchmail can't deliver the
mail to the MTA on your computer.  It's trying to send to a computer
named "Mozart"; is this in /etc/hosts?  If you `telnet Mozart 25' do
you get a response starting with "220"?

If you're running smail, you might need to reconfigure it with
`smailconfig'.
