Glyn,
Now I'm real stumped cause I uninstalled the firewall and it didn't make
a bit of difference. Sendmail is still causing a problem. Fetchmail
experiences a transaction error trying to bring down the mail from the
mailserver on the ISP and then get's a connection error talking to
localhost. I'm really at the end and don't have any idea where to do
next.
