The failed messages you report on indicate a basic misunderstanding about what the parts of an e-mail address do. The basic structure of a modern e-mail address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Both localhost and localhost.localdomain are candidatef for appearing to the right of the @ sign, as alternative

I ran fetchmail -V to get the version and other info, and there's little difference from what I've got with my current (RH7.3) system. The only difference is that on my current (RH7.3) system, old messages are flushed before retrieval, while on new system (RH8.0) --flush off.
