Hanspeter,

thanks for the help.

i turned off send mail in my rc.conf file because it made bsd hang.
fyi, i am behind a firewall.



netstat -an|grep \\\* :

tcp4       0      0  *.6010                 *.*                    LISTEN

Afaik fetchmail needs an MTA such as sendmail listening on port 25
or 587.
Have you tried sendmail_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf?
What does `netstat -an|grep \\\*` tell?
