i personally don't mind sendmail that much (i probably prefer postfix a bit), but if your distribution (looks like you're running linux) has a postfix package (it probably does) you may want to look into running that instead of sendmail. sendmail's configuration can be a bit confusing if you're not used to it. that said, does sendmail work properly aside from the problems you're having with fetchmail? that is - can you send and receive mail locally and remotely from / to the machine? one thing at a time.... if sendmail is working properly, then you know that's not the problem; if it's not, then don't even worry about fetchmail until you have a working MTA. sorry i don't have any advice about the fetchmail part, but i've never used it. perhaps someone else can be of more help in that regard. w
