Hi,

I'm trying to debug a fetchmail problem, and I've come to the 
conclusion sendmail isn't healthy.

The following command should work, but it doesn't.

   telnet localhost 25  # this times out

yet, if I do the following, it works

   echo "test mail" | mail -v -s "test" fjb@localhost #this works

so my question. Why won't sendmail "listen" to me? This causes
a problem with fetchmail.

I'm running a new install of 3.3.

any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this are greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Francis
