[fetchmail]Cannot connect to smtp - no access.db

2002-01-16 03:31:24
My objective is to block spam using sendmail's access.db.

My fetchmail log tells me:

    fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
    fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to
/usr/bin/procmail -d %
    Tfetchmail: about to deliver with: /usr/bin/procmail -d antoinem

This is surprising as smtp is up and running:
    [root(_at_)amsterdam root]# telnet amsterdam 25
    Trying 192.168.27.200...
    Connected to amsterdam.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    220 amsterdam.a1informatisering.nl ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.6/8.11.6;
Wed, 16    Jan 2002 10:25:42 GMT

Procmail seems to deliver my mail. This is very kind but undesired as I
want to be able to block spam using sendmail's access.db.

Question:
How do I stop procmail from interfering
Is this the right way to activating the access.db feature of sendmail
through fetchmail?

Best regards,

Antoine Maartens
