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.
Your lo interface is not up for some reason. Try a /etc/init.d/networking restart (or the equivalent in your distribution). ifconfig, ping 127.0.0.1 and route -n are your friends for determining whether the interface and the local route is up or not.
/etc/init.d/networking restart just says networking restarted.
I get errors of network unreachable.
I'm not at that machine right now so I'l give you the output of the other stuff tomorrow.
thanks,
Sharukh.
