I understand, and that's why I didn't understand what was going on, for
I did nothing to fetchmail. I inferred that fetchmail was sending the
mail server data that it didn't like.

I had looked at that site, but clearly it had to do with SSL, which I'm
not using.

Ping teufel does not run. I seem to have some problem with hostname
aliases:

$ hostname
teufel

$ hostname -a
teufel 

I assume the response with the -a option would include
localhost@localdomain, etc., for:

127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1     teufel.hartford-hwp.com teufel

My my assumption correct, my mail server does not like the way I
identify myself, which apparently sa-exim or exim reconfigure somehow
changed.
