[newbie] Fetchamil is broken! :(

[~*Mark*~]

I was wondering about something. Ever since I got my firewall up and
running fetchmail no longer works. It won't connect to my ISP's mail
server and bring down the mail. I like using Pine for mail, but I can't
now. I've left the SMPT port open so that I could use that port. Does
anyone have any ideas or suggestions on the matter?

thanks in advance,

Mark
