[x]inetd.conf??

[Marty Landman <MLandman face2interface com>]

I've installed fetchmail and created a .fetchmailrc file with some partial 
success e.g.

fetchmail: 6.2.0 querying mail.ulster.net (protocol POP3) at Sat 07 Feb 
2004 07:17:07 PM EST: poll started
[snip]
fetchmail: POP3< +OK 7424 octets
reading message marty mail ulster net:1 of 1 (7424 octets)
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< 
======================================================================
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.ulster.net
fetchmail: 6.2.0 querying mail.ulster.net (protocol POP3) at Sat 07 Feb 
2004 07:17:13 PM EST: poll completed
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
fetchmail: normal termination, status 10


Researching this it appears that first I need to have something listening 
on port 25 e.g.

$ telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

I gather this should be done through the /etc/[x]inetd.conf file which I 
don't have running RH9 and so I'm sort of lost again. But hey, at least my 
ISP's pop server said helo. :)
