Hi Hasan, fetchmail is a client program. it connects to the pop server running on the pop port. Its normal use is to store the mail locally that you can read your mail with a mail client accessing the mailbox (in /var/spool). But the '--smtphost int-server' switch Oki stated forwards the mail to a smtp server which should have been your JAMES running on the host 'int-server'. Since fetchmail connects to it on port 25 it is crucial that JAMES runs on this port. As the mail ended in the /var/spool directory I suppose something went wrong. Have a closer look at the output fetchmail produces and try 'man fetchmail'.
