Last week, I started getting these errors in my syslog when trying to download my mail: Nov 16 12:07:44 flea fetchmail[455]: starting fetchmail 5.3.3 daemon Nov 16 12:07:58 flea fetchmail[455]: 262 messages for mdevin at pop.ozemail.com.au (812090 octets). Nov 16 12:07:59 flea fetchmail[455]: reading message 1 of 262 (3327 octets) Nov 16 12:08:00 flea fetchmail[455]: SMTP connect to localhost failed Nov 16 12:08:00 flea fetchmail[455]: SMTP transaction error while fetching from pop.ozemail.com.au Nov 16 12:08:00 flea fetchmail[455]: Query status=10 (SMTP) I have not changed anything recently, which makes this all the more wierd. But now I can't download any of my mail. Fetchmail doesn't seem to be able to connect to postfix on localhost! I have also tried telnetting into port 25 and, although I am not quite sure how to do this, it does seem to work OK: algemon@flea:~$ telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to 127.0.0.1. Escape character is '^]'. 220 flea.home.net ESMTP Postfix MAIL FROM: <mdevin@ozemail.com.au> 250 Ok I am running a potato system. How should I go about troubleshooting this further? Thanks for any help. Mark.
