Re: Mail - just tried again ....
Greetings Carel,
Attached you will find a yet again revised copy of my fetchmailrc. rest
assured ~all~ usernames and pwords are strictly alphanumeric. I've also
included a copy of the most recent logfile. I opted for fetchall rather than
keep, as I am continuing to run getmail throughout this trial and am ~not~
running fetchmail in daemon mode.

~This~ is the line that caught my eye. I'm assuming that this is supposed to
refer to being sent to me at my ISP and ~accepted~ by them, yet my MDA/MTA
is rejecting it based on the inane hostname that my ISP assigned me. I'm
told that I have an "internally static / externally dynamic" IP address. Any
activity from ~outside~ this not-so delightful province would not be able to
track my IP. Thusly, the beginning of my domain name is a textual version of
my static IP.

fetchmail: SMTP< 250 <sentto-<ENTRY as ABOVE>> is syntatically correct
fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<localuname@localhost>
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 <localuname@localhost> is syntatically correct
fetchmail: SMTP> DATA

Balance speaks "eloquently" of closing the connection with my ISP.
The preceding log leads me to believe that the message was delivered, but
yet again checking my spool, $HOME/incoming, or any other locations reveals
no such message.
I've renamed my procmail to not interfere, and also looked exhasutively over
my exim config. No differences other than unames, pwords, and ISP details.
I must emphasize that all of these details are interacting quite nicely with
'getmail' but they just aren't working for fetchmail/exim/procmail
Thanks again for the help
