I would like to be able to use fetchmail to go out and get some of my remote pop accounts but I keep getting this error:

$ fetchmail webiam.net
Enter password for blobaugh@webiam.net:
fetchmail: Server CommonName mismatch: localhost != webiam.net
fetchmail: Server CommonName mismatch: localhost != webiam.net
15 messages (1 seen) for blobaugh at webiam.net.
reading message blobaugh@webiam.net:1 of 15 (1213 header octets) .fetchmail: SMT
P connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from webiam.net
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)
$

Anyone able to shed some light?

ok to help you out...


did you specify a user name??

use the -u command and put the acutally name
of you email acount.

also, try the --ssl option (maybe they dont require it
so that may not work, but i needed it).

also i have an SMTP server running for
sending and recieving email...not sure if you need one, but do you have one running ? i.e sendmail or postfix
