Burton Sampley recently asked:
% Thanks for the help. Yes I do have senmail running. I just solved this
% problem. I looked in the /etc/sysconfig file and noticed that routed was
% NOT running. I changed the line from router="NO" to router=routed and
% rebooted the machine. Surpirse, now fetchmail works.

Sounds like Burton is not adding a default address when the PPP link
comes up. If you're using a single PPP link as your connection to
the net, you need to turn off routed and modify your PPP configuration
to add a default router through the PPP connection whenever it comes
up. Search the mail archives for help with this; it was discussed to
death in Jan and Feb of this year.

No route to the "real world."
