Having previously has smail, fetchmail and procmail working perfectly I now - after having had to re-install Debian - cannot get fetchmail to work. The error message "fetchmail: SMTP connect to (null) failed" keeps on appearing, in spite of my having reconfigured smail with smailconfig --force. Ifconfig and route -n seem to show that all is as it should be, and .fetchmailrc is bog standard. One thing: my ISP changed his server setup from having wyenet.co.uk for both incoming and outgoing mail to having wallace.wyenet.co.uk for pop3 and gromit.wyenet.co.uk for SMTP. The former is of course set in .fetchmailrc as "poll wallace.wyenet.co.uk", but is there somewhere one should also set for SMTP?
Probably an obvious answer, but I seem to be going round in ever decreasing circles, so any help gratefully received.
