I am doing something wrong with my fetchmail configuration, however. I am not even sure where to start troubleshooting. My .fetchmail.log file reads, in part: fetchmail: sleeping at Sun Jan 19 2003 fetchmail: 43 messages for gwschenk at orangca-mls05.socal.rr.com (17784 octets) fetchmail: reading message gwschenk@orangca-mls05.socal.rr.com fetchmail: fetchmail: getaddrinfo(localhost.smtp) fetchmail: SMTP connection to localhost failed fetchmail: transaction error while fetching from pop-server.socal.rr.com fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) Have I configured something incorrectly? I'm suspicious that my email address and the account name I log onto my computer with have some sort of conflict in fetchmail or perhaps sendmail. I've gone over .fetchmailrc, freebsd.mc and the Pine configuration screen, but don't see any mistakes there. Is there another location to look?
