Greetings All, I saw a post about this awhile back but I didn't see a response. fetchmail can't connect port 25 on the localhost. I get the following:

I've tried the -S host option and that seems to work, but I'd like to know why it can't find port 25 of the localhost. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
