Not necessarily. What OS are you running this on? Fetchmail doesn't care
what SMTP server you use. It doesn't even have to be a local SMTP server.
But, if you're running NT, you can IIS, you can run the built-in SMTP
server. Fetchmail will use that.

$ fetchmail -u username -p POP3 213.180.128.80
Enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
fetchmail: unknown or invalid command
1 message for username at 213.180.128.80 (997 octets).
reading message 1 of 1 (997 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost
failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from 213.180.128.80
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
And what now? IMHO it needs sendmail or something like that,
but I have only standard Cygwin packages.
