[fetchmail-users] Solution (??) of: fetchmail on server unable to connect to postfix

[M. F. <mfi...@ne...>]

Hello everybody.

please accept my apologies for screwed threading, or if I have missed
some of the most recent answers and you need to repeat something to me.

As you may have noticed by now :-) I am moving from one email server to
another these days and is not being painles...

This is the situation now. I have found a newer rpm which installed
without problems on Centos 4.4:

rpm -q fetchmail
fetchmail-6.3.4-1.1_6.el4.at

this one works! with the /etc/hosts and fetchmailrc files shown below.
It may be helpful for the next guy if this difference in HELO behavior is
documented somewhere, since I happened into it by using the default
packages provided with my chosen distro.

Thanks to Rob and all the others who helped me and thanks in advance
for any answer to this last question: is there anything in the
setup below which is redundant or, worst, may cause any security problem?
