Re: fetchmail +SMTP error

[Brad <brad@comstyle.com>]

That means you don't have Sendmail or some other MTA running on your
system. To enable Sendmail you need to edit /etc/rc.conf and add "-bd" to
the command line for Sendmail (so it'll load properly on any subsequent
reboots). Manually execute it as root by typing "/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd
-q30m".
