Talk works like talk [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Therefore you either need to do a talk you@localhost to talk to
yourself, or the other persons loginname@hisdomainname
r> [rarab@localhost rarab]$ talk james

This looks like your version of fetchmail is bad or can't determine
the local hostname.
What happens when you issue the command 'hostname' ?
Have you setup the hostname on your local machine, if not edit
/etc/HOSTNAME and /etc/sysconfig/network to add the hostname or
use the GUI depending on what version of RedHat you are using.
