I didn't check the mda and escape stuff yet, but I do think the right way
would be to replace the "<>" to "MAILER-DAEMON" only for mda transport,
right before the escaping.

fetchmail should not do ANY guessing, and guessing includes changing <>
to MAILER-DAEMON. If your destination MDA or MTA does not get <> right,
then just tell which programs and which versions of these programs are
involved; for example, a sendmail -f "" bug was only recently fixed (and
the workaround is to use sendmail -f "<>" indeed) and how fetchmail
forwards the mail (SMTP, ...).
