Hmm...  This shouldn't have fixed anything, as far as I can think of,
anyway.  What version of FreeBSD are you running?  I can't remember the
start of this thread anymore.  :)

I use fetchmail here on hobbes (which runs 2.2-BETA) without any routing
software loaded, and it works fine.  If I remember right you were running
something fairly recent, but I can't remember what.

Still doesn't explain why it didn't work without routed...
