I had a similar problem, and it took me a while to realize that the SMTP error was not on the mail server end, it was on my local machine. Fetchmail delivers to port 25, which is the smtp port, which is what your local MTA listens to. I bet your fetchmail configuration is fine, and that you need to look at your MTA. Try /etc/init.d/sendmail reload if using sendmail, or similar for another MTA. -- Neil L. Roeth [EMAIL PROTECTED]
