Both lines are required. You aren't going to be polling smtp, valid
options are pop3 and imap.
If I were to write a line to fetch pop3 off my box here, the entry
would look something like this.
poll ursine.dyndns.org with protocol pop3
user baloo there is baloo here with password xxxxxxxx;
You'll need to include the password or fetchmail will hang when the
daemon asks for a password and isn't connected to a terminal.
