This is not fetchmail's fault, but a Sendmail configuration issue.

The message means that fetchmail has downloaded a message and tried to
deliver it to your local SMTP listener.  The Sendmail program receives
this message from fetchmail, tries to resolve the domain of the
sender, and returns a failure.  You can disable the check for
unresolvable domains in Sendmail by using the following in your .mc
file under /etc/mail:

	FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains')dnl
