  Thank you.]

I'm trying to configure fetchmail and procmail to work together and I'm 
running into a snag.  In the man page for fetchmail, it is stated that 
fetchmail attempts to deliver fetched mail to the local mailhost at port 
25 and if there is no listener there, it's supposed to look for 
procmail.  I have procmail installed (sendmail is disabled entirely with 
sendmail_enable="NONE"), but fetchmail doesn't seem to know it's alive. 
  I get the following error in my maillog:

fetchmail[54779]: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail[54779]: SMTP transaction error while fetching from xxx.xxx.xxx
fetchmail[54779]: Query status=10 (SMTP)

I've been poring over the manpages and googling like crazy and I haven't 
found anything to tell me what I'm doing wrong.  This is incredibly 
frustrating and I would appreciate any enlightenment you have to offer.

Thanks in advance,
Scott
