OK, that's quite old.
In versions before 12.2, you better use (as root; the commands are in /usr/sbin, which is in root's path, but not in the PATH of the user):
rcpostfix status
rcsendmail status
- one of these should work.
You are right: Whereas "rcsendmail" does not work, "rcpostfix status" produces the result "unused", but "rcpostfix start" fails.
Anyway, so far I do not see how to avoid the fetchmail message
connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused.
You can avoid this by starting postfix. Obviously, fetchmail tries to contact your local host on port 25, and this is the mail delivery port which is taken care of by postfix. Try "rcstart postfix" and look at the end of /var/spool/mail.log and/or /var/spool/messages what is reported here as a possible reason for not starting postfix.
