Maybe what I wrote is not true, but when you search the archives,
the discussion has never ceased, from 1999 onwards. One term
you'll find is that postfix was not "DFSG-free". (DFSG=Debian Free
Software Guidelines.)

Postfix is in Debian/main. The license is clearly DFSG-free. Otherwise
Postfix would not be in Debian. And yes, of course the license was
discussed. New ones always are.

I understand, and that's why I didn't understand what was going on, for
I did nothing to fetchmail. I inferred that fetchmail was sending the
mail server data that it didn't like.

I had looked at that site, but clearly it had to do with SSL, which I'm
not using.

Ping teufel does not run. I seem to have some problem with hostname
aliases:

$ hostname
teufel

$ hostname -a
teufel

I assume the response with the -a option would include
localhost(a)localdomain, etc., for:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 teufel.hartford-hwp.com teufel

My my assumption correct, my mail server does not like the way I
identify myself, which apparently sa-exim or exim reconfigure somehow
changed.

Here I have:
$ hostname
wira
$ hostname -a
wira
and fetchmail runs pretty well, including SSL.

Why would the whole fingerprint come up if you didn't use SSL ?
Have you tried telnet, then ? Does it work ?
Can you show your .fetchmailrc ?

Uwe,

I find that if I revert to exim4 monolithic configuration, my e-mail
works, and so I've obviously done something to the split configuration
file. I'm subscribing to pkg-exim4-users and will try to resolve the
issue there.

Thanks.
