Hi,
I'm using Debian 5 w/ mutt, postfix, fetchmail, procmail. I have discontinued my mtnl triband and taken a reliance broadband netconnect connection.
I've configured the stuff in the usual way but fetchmail is acting up. These are the error messages.
fetchmail: connection to localhost:smtp [::1/25] failed: Network is unreachable. fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
also:
sharukh@opium:~$ telnet localhost 25 Trying ::1... telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Network is unreachable
lsof -i:25
gives no output
please help, I have googled but am a bit lost.
Just start/restart your postfix. Also look if postfix fails to start in syslog/maillog for error.
Thanks,
Sharukh
