Fetchmail produced a number of errors like:
connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Connection
refused.
These appeared to be caused by this /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6
localhost6.localdomain6
which has two possible resolutions for localhost, one of which, namely "::1",
isn't recognized. I attempted to fix things by eliminating the "::1"
line, to produce the hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
But using this file causes mounts on /media to fail (in my case a
detachable hard drive and a camera).
Both problems are cured with this hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
All this seems related to IPV6 configuration, but how isn't clear to me.
Can anyone elucidate? Should I file a bug against the
original /etc/hosts ?
Thanks - jon
