fetchmail

Hi all,

I have a slight problem with the config of fetchmail 

1. I have created .fetchmail files in both /root and /lex.
   This is the contents of one the files:
    
   [lex@pluto ~]$ more .fetchmailrc 
   poll mail.senet.com.au
   protocol pop3
   localdomains pluto 
   user lex with password ***** [u don't need to know that :)]

2. I have edited /etc/sendmail.cw ie 
   [lex@pluto ~]$ more /etc/sendmail.cw 
   # sendmail.cw - include all aliases for your machine here.

   pluto 10.0.0.1
   

However, when I do a fetchmail I get this error:

================================================

[lex@pluto ~]$ !f
fetchmail
7 messages for lex at mail.senet.com.au (19409 octets).
reading message 1 of 7 (2109 octets) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to
localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mail.senet.com.au
fetchmail: Query status=10
[lex@pluto ~]$ 

===============================================================

Obviously it is bugging out on trying to connect to localhost.
I know I have screwed this part up [I think], but I don't know how.

Can anyone see what my problem is?
I will be stoked to get this working :)

Cheers 

- Alex
