The way I read it fetchmail is working fine as is your IPS's POP3
daemon.  The problem is with SMTP at your end.

Do you have an entry in /etc/inetd.conf like:-
smtp    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.smtpd

What happens when you telnet to localhost 25?

Check that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1.
