Okay, that should be good.

Warnings aren't errors and IIRC, I was running Postfix on my system for a full 
month before I added my fake domain name just to get the warning to stop and 
even now it is still not a FQHN but that doesn't seem to matter to anyone, 
certainly not Postfix.  I am pretty sure that Postfix will run even without a 
hostname as long as your machine has a name.

Could it be the zeroconf stuff in 9.2.  If you ran the network setup utility, 
it might have set a hostname for you with the tmdns stuff.

How about CLI again and run a nmap on localhost.  Check to see if it says your 
SMTP on port 25 is open or filtered.  You might have some firewall stuff that 
is stopping Fetchmail from connecting.
