I could be wrong (there's insufficient detail) but it looks like you are
trying to bounce mail back to a non-existent sender domain. If that's
the case (and you allow fetchmail to bounce mail) then may I recommend
changing to discard to avoid creating backscatter to people who never
sent the mail to begin with?
