advise on using fetchmail


Hi,

Ive just installed cygwin on my NT workstation and I'm trying like  mad to 
get fetchmail working.
I'm not sure if this is the correct list, so I apologise in advance if it's 
not.

I've managed to locate a cygwin compatible libiconv,fetchmail and procmail 
binaries and installed, then setup my .fetchmailrc file, running:

fetchmail -u mark

results in this error all the time:

fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to 
/usr/local/bin/procmail -d %T

Ive created a /etc/hosts and inserted the correct info, but I still get the 
error,
but It still collects my mail (I presume using procmail),
But really want to use fetchmail, as Ive used it on my home box linux box 
for the past 3 years, so Im used to it, but never located this error before.

Mark
