I guess it will help. I have no access now, but I'll report back next week.
And I do like those kind hints about Google.  ;)
My concern at searching however, wasn't the |"fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Connection refused.", but that it happens 100% only when fetchmail is called at 5 minutes after the hour. (Be assured it is the last time I mention this fact in here; except one day, should I find out why this is the case.)

Based on what you've provided us, I'd say that it fails at five minutes past every hour because that's the only time you try to run it. Your original post included a cron entry calling for it to run at five minutes after every hour. I don't recall you providing any proof that it operates correctly when run at other times of the hour. So rather than your problem being "postfix unavailable at 5 minutes after the hour?", your problem is "postfix is never available (but you only try at 5 minutes after the hour)". Wietse provided a possible solution for the latter problem.
