Yup, this took care of this little problem. I still have problems with my fetchmail, though. In this (new) version of the smail a new (?) variable is added to the /etc/smail/config file named 'more_hostnames' wher it includes 'localhost'. My guess would be that should take care of the earlier problem with localhost and hostnames (but I'm not sure). What I can do: 1-- telnet to 'inforamp.net smtp' from a VC and get a 220--banner thingy 2-- telnet to 'localhost smtp' from a VC as a user and get a 220--banner 3-- my fetchmail, when invoked, sees the number of messages on the remote server (it is giving me a feedback with the number of mails), but my machine seems to be refusing the SMTP connection attempt by fetchmail ( error says something about 'SMTP connection refused by my_machine_name'). So, my guess is it has something to do with permissions to allow the access, but I don't know where to look...
