I'm having trouble fetching my mail with fetchmail. All it does it say:

fetchmail grabs the mail from POP and passes it to your MTA on
localhost using the loopback device (i think that's how it works) and
your MTA isn't answering on port 25.

Connection timed out.

I have no idea what could be wrong. As you can tell SMTP is working fine
(Under SSMTP), so I have no idea why fetchmail isn't working.

? I'm not sure what you mean here, but it looks to me like smtp is NOT
working on lo interface. Can you telnet port 25 and ge tit to respond?

Cc to mikepobega@xxxxxxxxx if you can, since I'll only be using
pobega@xxxxxxxxx for SMTP through Mutt.
