Hello,

I am trying to get fetchmail to work on my BSD box but i am having some
problems.  I get a error message of 
'SMTP connect to localhost failed' as shown below. I am pretty sure I have
it configured properly on the fetchmail side. Do i need to have sendmail
installed and configured to use fetchmail? If so can you direct me to some
documentation for correct configuration..

thank,

brian
