Um...your mail logs?

OK You haven't given any details on your config. Either /var/log/maillog or
/var/log/qmail/send/current depending on whether you are using syslog or
multilog. You know, the logs that tell you what is happening to mail on your
system? Fetchmail retrieves mail off a server, and delivers it locally using
SMTP, so you have to have an SMTP server (ie qmail) which stores its own
logs. What does YOURS say? (Following...another private e-mail)

Yes, that is a problem. Your qmail setup is bad. Something else is trying to
steal port 80 so that qmail-smtpd (I presume...once again, no details) can't
run. What does 'ps ax' give, and what is your tcpserver line to start qmail
and any other tcpserver daemons?
