Hi,

I'm using Debian 5 w/ mutt, postfix, fetchmail, procmail. I have discontinued my mtnl triband and taken a reliance broadband netconnect connection.

So, the IP has changed? If so this may be breaking something somewhere though less likely.

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

It's not fetchmail but postfix that's the point of failure. Please provide your postfix logs.
