Your mail is down where? If sendmail (or fetchmail) doesn't like your
name it will bounce the mail back to the sender. Check /var/log/maillog
to see where it went.

I use the following ~/.fetchmailrc for my multi drop configuration...
_____________________________________________________________________

set no bouncemail
set postmaster root

poll <remote pop3 host> protocol POP3 no dns aka <my remote mail domain>
	user <remote_username> pass <remote_password> to *
_____________________________________________________________________

You will notice that I have disabled fetchmail from bouncing mail (for
now).
