the last (known) problem resulting from my belated upgrade
to rh9.0 is that fetchmail seems not to work.  my old perl
script for popping mail still works ok, but for various
reasons i'd rather continue using fetchmail.  my
.fetchmailrc file looks like this:

# .fetchmailrc

  poll pop.rcn.com protocol pop3 username jdm34 password xxxxxxxx
  smtp host localhost

and here's what i get after invoking fetchmail:

1 message for jdm34 at pop.rcn.com (5958 octets).
reading message jdm34@pop.rcn.com:1 of 1 (5958 octets)
fetchmail: fetchmail: getaddrinfo(host.smtp)
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from pop.rcn.com
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)

is the problem obvious to anyone?  don't know what has
changed.  it worked under rh7.3.
