I am trying to use fetchmail on FreeBSD but get the message:

The question isn't whether you can resolve it, but whether your
mailserver can. Check your mail log for the smtp server. If the
mailserver is chrooted, check for $chrootdir/etc/resolv.conf.

I don't know how to read sendmail.st, but the mailserver (sendmail) is
not chrooted.

In /var/log/messages I get this, but it doesn't seem to relate to
anything in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

Apr 18 02:56:07 andrsn sm-mta[24419]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root):
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 1: unknown configuration line "7A

RSIONID(\001FreeBSD: s"


Hmmm, it looks like your `sendmail.cf' has been overwritten by an
unexpanded copy of `sendmail.mc'.  What do you see with:

    % diff -u /etc/mail/freebsd.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

If this shows only a few lines of local changes, then you should keep a
backup copy of the current `/etc/mail/sendmail.cf' file and then try to
macro-expand it with the `/etc/mail/Makefile' machinery to generate a
real `sendmail.cf' file...

Thanks--to all who helped--I think I've got it working now.
