That's the problem!! You probably don't have localhost in the
hosts file. So sendmail thinks you are trying to send the mail to some
other machine through it, which obviously it is not configured to do as
open relays are prohibited on the Net.

To make fetchmail still send the mail add these lines on the top of
.fetchmailrc file.

defaults proto POP3

      smtphost "icrier.res.in"
      smtpaddress "icrier.res.in"

I hope that works out ok.
