Hoping someone might know the answer to this... Last week I upgraded my 2.0 debian system up to 2.1. fetchmail is now barfing. The output I get is:
X message(s) for jgreshes at pop3.netaxs.com (X octets) reading message 1 of X (X octets) fetchmail: SMTP listener doesn't like recipient address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' fetchmail: can't even send to jgreshes! fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from pop3.netaxs.com fetchamil: Query status=10 where X is whatever number of messages and octets apply at the moment. /var/log/smail/logfile reads: 06/18/1999 00:38:19: [m10uqPz-001r5JC] Received FROM:root PROGRAM:sendmail SIZE:280 06/18/1999 00:38:19: [m10uqPz-001r5JC] Delivered TO:jgreshes ORIG-TO:postmaster DIRECTOR:user TRANSPORT:local 06/18/1999 00:38:19: [m10uqPz-001r5JC] Completed. 06/18/1999 00:40:42: remote EHLO: questionable operand: 'localhost': from localhost(localhost) source [127.0.0.1]: hostname must contain a '.'. 06/18/1999 00:40:43: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:40:43: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:42:32: remote EHLO: questionable operand: 'localhost': from localhost(localhost) source [127.0.0.1]: hostname must contain a '.'. 06/18/1999 00:42:32: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:42:32: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:53:17: remote EHLO: questionable operand: 'localhost': from localhost(localhost) source [127.0.0.1]: hostname must contain a '.'. 06/18/1999 00:53:17: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:53:17: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:54:26: remote EHLO: questionable operand: 'localhost': from localhost(localhost) source [127.0.0.1]: hostname must contain a '.'. 06/18/1999 00:54:26: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! 06/18/1999 00:54:27: remote localhost[127.0.0.1]: '<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recipient for sender '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' not matched by anything! my /etc/smail/config file is factory direct, without modifications: # This is the main Smail configuration file. # It was originally generated by `smailconfig', part of the Smail package # distributed with Debian, but it may edited by the mail system administrator. # It was originally generated by smailconfig at Wed Jul 1 23:12:12 EDT 1998 # Please modify the above line, if you change this file by hand. # See smailconf(5) for details of the things that can be configured here. visible_name=netaxs.com -domains hostnames=netaxs.com max_load_ave=5 smtp_accept_max=20 smtp_accept_queue=10 rfc1413_query_timeout=15 require_configs -second_config_file -qualify_file -retry_file copying_file=/usr/doc/smail/copyright max_message_size=10M received_field="Received: \ ${if def:sender_host\ {from $sender_host ${if def:sender_host_addr ([$sender_host_addr]) }}\ {${if def:sender_host_addr:from [$sender_host_addr] }}}\ by $primary_name\n\t\ ${if def:sender_proto: with $sender_proto }\ ${if def:ident_sender:(ident $ident_sender using $ident_method) }\ id $message_id\n\t\ (Debian $version_string); $spool_date" # Debian Config Version 2.1 # ----------Begin----------- # You really should know what you do here! #WARNING: You will have to add a correct local definition for # smtp_remote_allow if you have many local networks, or unset it # if you wish to disable this feature (default). #WARNING: The current implementation of this feature blocks # relay from incoming SMTP to *any* outgoing transport.

Any suggestions, pretty please? Jason
