[NTLUG:Discuss] /etc/hosts.allow and deny

[Bug Hunter]

 It has nothing to do with hosts.deny/hosts.allow.  Those two files only
affect outside programs contacting your machine for the services listed in
/etc/inetd.conf (or in xinetd.d for newer machines).

  Try looking through /var/log/messages, and /var/log/maillog.
 
  It may be fetchmail delivers the mail into the sendmail queue, and you
have to run sendmail to finish the delivery....?
