[fetchmail]redhat 7.1 and sendmail + fetchmail / a solution

I eventually found a solution to get my mail read by sendmail +
fetchmail under redhat 7.1.

I did two things:

commented out the following line in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')

this is documented in redhat 7.1 release notes.

But this was not enough, I had to add an authorisation line
in /etc/hosts.allow:

sendmail:ALL

I could certainly reduce to sendmail:xxx.xxx.xxx to restrict to my
local domain including my regular mail server.

Now everything is OK ; hope this helps,
