[sllug-members]: Fetchmail localhost error

This is my first time setting up fetchmail and I'm getting a localhost
error.

$ fetchmail
fetchmail: Server CommonName mismatch: Ipswitch,Inc. != mail.csolutions.net
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: self signed certificate
16 messages for nixon at firston.com at mail.csolutions.net (116640 octets).
reading message nixon at firston.com@mail.csolutions.net:1 of 16 (9656 octets)
.fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from
nixon at firston.com@mail.csolutions.net and delivering to SMTP host localhost
fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP)

My .fetchmailrc file looks like this:

poll mail.csolutions.net with proto POP3 user 'nixon at firston.com' there with
password 'xxxxxx' is 'mail'
here options ssl

I googled: fetchmail "SMTP connect to localhost failed"
and found results saying that my localhost isn't configured right, but I
don't think that is the case.
though when I telnet localhost I get

Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

but when I ping localhost I get a response.

I'd appreciate any help someone could give.

Thanks,
Jared
