fetchmail question

Folks,
I have a question regarding fetchmail. I have fetchmail working just
fine on box A.
I setup fetchmail on box B and moved the exist fetchmailrc file over
from box A to B with the hopes of doing a drop-in replacement. I keep
getting an error from fetchmail that says fetchmail: no mailservers have
been specified. This of course is rediculous as the configuration file
is exactly the same one I was using on box A. The permisitions are
correct, I know all dns names can be resolved from that box and well I'm
flat out of ideas. I also did scrub through the logs, but can't find
anything and fetchmail only provides that error message.
Oh also I was considering going from the usual spool/mail setup and
having each user a mail directory in home. Is there a simple enough way
to do this if I'm using Spam Assassin, Procmail, and either Exim or
Postfix? I guess the question is there any reason other than keeping
mail in the user's home directory thus freeing space for the /var
directory and perhaps for security reasons, would I gain anything by
continuing to use the spool/mail setup over the maildirs being in the
/home/user.
Ok I do need some cofee I don't think that made sense. grin
