telnet port 25

["A.D.Y. Cheng" <adyc100@hkstar.com>]

Hello all,

I try the command to test my email connection 'telnet localhost 25', but
it gives me the error:

Trying 127.0.0.1... 
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused      

However, I have '127.0.0.1	localhost' entry in my /etc/hosts file.
Another problem is that I have troubles download email from my ISP using
fetchmail, it gives me the error

fetchmail: POP3> QUIT 
fetchmail: POP3< +OK Pop server at pisces.hkstar.com signing off. 
fetchmail: normal termination, status 0  

I have recently upgrade to 1.3.1 r8. Is the upgrade causing the problem?

Anthony
