1. Make sure that when you're running fetchmail(1) your network
interfaces, at least the one connecting you to the NETWORK.net domain
is up and running.
2. Check if the host mail.NETWORK.net is up and running.
A simple `ping' should suffice for this.
% ping mail.NETWORK.net
3. Ensure that mail.NETWORK.net supports POP3 connections. This can be
done by simply telnet'ing to port 110. If there is a pop3 server
listening on that port, you should get something like:
% telnet mail.NETWORK.net 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1
if you get a 'connection refused' instead, no POP3 service is running
on that host. Ask the mail administrators of NETWORK.net to tell you
which host to use as a POP3 server instead of mail.NETWORK.net.
