Check your /etc/host file. fetchmail -S localhost will do the job in any case (I think). I have to do this myself, because I get reading message 1/1 (755 bytes) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed: Unknown error 18446744073709551615 As I first saw error 18446744073709551615 I thought, I started Win NT by accident ;-) BTW: my /etc/hosts says 127.0.0.1 localhost I can telnet to localhost, so I don't really know why fetchmail complains.
