 This looks as if another machine is rejecting your mail because the
 name of your machine isn't resolvable to a numeric IP address.

No, it's because the machine can't resolve the sender domain,
linux-mandrake.com.
Check your DNS settings... Can you ping linux-mandrake.com from the same
machine at the same time?

This feature is introduced to prevent people from sending a common form of
SPAM (with the sender set to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
or the likes).

 This looks as if another machine is rejecting your mail because the
 name of your machine isn't resolvable to a numeric IP address.  I.e.,
 your machine is name localhost.localdomain, and there is no DNS entry
 at the other machine for that name.

Strange my other box with Caldera 2.2 is localhostlocaldomain also and
same settings in fetchmail works.  It also worked in Mandrake 5.3 same
fetchmailrc settings what is different about Mandrake 6 fetchmail?

The right fix is to put in correct DNS settings... Have you checked if you
can ping linux-mandrake.com or nslookup it or something while fetchmail is
running?
