It does print download progress including the URL (well, sort of) if  
it needs to download something, but not if it thinks it already has  
the file.

Try cleaning the distfiles too.

cd path/to/dbmail
sudo port clean --all
sudo port -d fetch

It works for me using your portfile. Maybe their server had a  
momentary difficulty.

Or maybe your ISP's DNS server returns incorrect results (i.e. a  
search page) when a hostname is not found. What is in the HTML file  
you downloaded?
