i have two laptops running fc38.  on the hp laptop fetchmail
runs just fine, but not on the asus laptop.  .fetchmailrc is
the same on both, the fetchmail.log shown is from the asus
laptop.

# .fetchmailrc
  set logfile fetchmail.log
  poll mail.moylan.us protocol POP3
        user "moylanus" pass "BHCjdm34!+&" is moylan preconnect "date >> fetchmail.log"
  smtp localhost

# fetchmail.log
fetchmail: 81 messages for moylanus at mail.moylan.us (3850900 octets).
fetchmail: reading message moylanus at mail.moylan.us:1 of 81 (49557 octets) (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: Connection errors for this poll:
name 0: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused.
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from moylanus at mail.moylan.us and delivering to SMTP host localhost
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)

any thoughts on how to get fetchmail running on the asus laptop?

tia,
ole dan
