Re: fetchmail problem
yes, I just had this problem too. Be sure we're on the page by doing the
following:
telnet localhost 25
if the connection is refused or similar, smtp is not running. To solve the
problem I installed sendmail (I know it better than exim):
apt-get install sendmail
do the configs, I'm not sure how you get service so it's tough to say too
much. One issue that I had was that mail is received at my isp at
beerdrinker.org but when I receive it sendmail wants to send it back, so I
modified my /etc/hosts file to add beerdrinker.org to the 127.0.0.1 line.
Kludgy though, cuz now I can't send mail properly to beerdrinker.org.
Pretty sure that there is a configuration for sendmail that I can set that
will unbreak this...but it works for now.
