e-mail

[Roy Nickelson]

Hi,
I am having a lot of problems with e-mail. i am using redhat 9. i had
fetchmail working with mutt so i could read messages.
I then followed the instructions in the
sendmail address rewriting mini-HOWTO

and now nothing works.
when I try to fetchmail I get an error that says
fetchmail smtp connect to local host failed.
I can't send mail either if I try to sendmail to root I don't get it and if
I try to send mail to my regular e-mail address I never get it.
I am not seeing any error messages however.
I don't understand how I follow instructions perfectly and still get errors.
