Acel, > 1 message for USERNAME at pop.provider.de (9014 octets). > reading message USERNAME@pop.provider.de:1 of 1 (9014 octets) fetchmail: > SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while > fetching from pop.puretec.de fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) You need to have an SMTP server listening on your localhost for fetchmail to work. Here's what happens: 1) fetchmail uses POP3 to speak to a POP3 server 2) it gets the mail and then uses SMTP to an SMTP server to deliver the mail Now, the SMTP server by default is localhost. You can configure fetchmail to talk to another host if that's your fancy. You probably need to enable a local listening Sendmail on your local host. Look for "sendmail" in /etc/defaults/rc.conf -- and choose one that seems to fit your needs. Make sure you know the implications of starting up an SMTP server such as sendmail before actually starting it up.
