What does this error mean?
reading message 1 of 1 (917 octets) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: can't raise the listener; falling back to /usr/bin/procmail -d %T flushed

Do you have sendmail running as <font face = "courier">sendmail -bd</font> (executed with sudo)? From that error, it looks to me like your computer is rejecting smtp connect requests, which generally means that your mailer daemon is broken or not running.
