When I set smarthost for sendmail, fetchmail doesn't work. It says "could not connect to localhost" or something like that.
I'm afraid this is what happens - pop.mail.yahoo.com:110 ( -> fetchmail -> ) localhost:25 -> smarthost:25 -> ??? lost
Am I right? How do I solve this?

Smarthost is set in sendmail.cf -> DS
fetchmail should try to send to the local MTA (sendmail) or use SMTP.
maybe sendmail is also set to deny relay. You'll have to list all aliases of your machine (including localhost) in the sendmail alias list. Check where this is supposed to be.
