Message below from fetchmail 4.6.0 on FreeBSD 3.0-current.
"abcde@efghij.klmnop.Toronto.ON.CA" is mostly faked (by me) to protect
whoever is sending this email to me:

fetchmail: 137 messages for dkelly at fly.hiwaay.net (458628 bytes).
fetchmail: reading message 1 of 137 (1568 bytes)  (log message incomplete)
fetchmail: SMTP error: 451 <abcde@efghij.klmnop.Toronto.ON.CA>... Sender domain must resolve
fetchmail: SMTP error: 553 <dkelly>... Domain name required
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from fly.hiwaay.net
fetchmail: Query status=10

Is the above really coming from fetchmail, or is it sendmail 8.9 on my 
system that is refusing the handoff from fetchmail? What do I do to 
prevent this in the future?

FWIW: I have a shell account so I have telneted in, saved the offending 
message. And now fetchmail works.
