I rerun smailconfig and option 3 (Satellite) was unfamiliar to me, option 1 (Internet site) looked like the questions I have answered during smail setup.
So: USE OPTION 1, DON'T USE OPTION 3 I am sorry for causing that much confusion. I guess in the year which passed between now and my smailconfig, I have lost too much brain due to the good beer you get here in germany :-) So I hope atleast somebody found my fetchmailrc usefull. Don't forget to check for localhost in the hostnames line in /etc/smail/config if you want to take it as a template for your own setup.
