Hello, I am trying to get fetchmail to fetch my email and put it in my inbox on my redhat box but i am having some problems. I get a error message of 'SMTP connect to localhost failed' as shown below. I am pretty sure I have it configured properly on the fetchmail side (below). Do i need to have sendmail installed and configured to use fetchmail? I am not too familiar with sendmail or fetchmail. Can someone give me a general overview on what i need to do?
