Shantanu <shantanu(_at_)gate(_dot_)polarhome(_dot_)com> waffled thusly:

Hello,
The fetchmail version I am using is
 5.9.7+RPA+NTLM+SDPS+SSL+NLS
 mail server is qmail 1.03 with file /var/qmail/control/locals as
localhost.localdomain
My .fetchmailrc is
poll polarhome.com proto pop3 nodns
user shantanu is shantanu here
fetchall keep forcecr to * here
I have sent a mail from my local machien to my remote server and tried
to retrieve it back to my local machine using fetchmail. It should
have been delivered but it is been placed in remote queue. I am giving
the header below,
can you tell me what is wrong?

Hi,

This isn't actually a fetchmail problem, more a qmail one :-)

Put:

localhost

into qmail's control/locals and control/rcpthosts and you should be OK
(in future; I don't think you can requeue the message easily). The
problem arose because qmail doesn't recognise "localhost" as a domain it
accepts mail for, so it will send it back out.

Michael.
