I remember about six months ago that fetchmail changed its behavior
and I lost some mail when I upgraded, because "localhost" wasn't in
the rcpthosts of my linuxppc box. In my case, since I have a fixed
IP, I simply added "smtphost schinder.clark.net" to my .fetchmailrc
and things started working. Fetchmail doesn't seem to be able to deal
with bounces. The logs are long gone, so I don't know what the log
entries looked like.
You also need "forcecr" in the .fetchmailrc, but that's well
documented.
