I'm having this same problem in a fresh installation of potato. I even
have a loopback device with no help. The previous installation, that was
an upgrade, used to work just fine. Then a decided to put another hd and
to test the installation. Everything was OK but exim and consequently,
fetchmail (since there is no response from localhost on port 25).
My exim is configured to send and receive Internet mail (#1 option).
Any other hint on this?
