Two things may be the problem:
1. Fetchmail does not know what your smtp host is (unlikely).
Add `smtphost localhost' to your user line
2. Sendmail is not started.
Try `telnet localhost 25'
If you get an error - Unable to connect to localhost - then sendmail
has not started. Start it. If you can connect, then try and send a
mail manually from an external address to an internal address:
HELO localhost
MAIL FROM: someone@somewhere
RCPT TO: localuser@localhost
DATA
test message
.
QUIT
If you get errors, you will figure out what is wrong.
