Hi,
I've been bitten by a problem where my whole list of mail-accounts hasn't
been checked for a time because one mailserver wasn't resolvable due to
provider problems.
I always got the message "couldn't find canonical DNS name of xxx" directly
after startup and fetchmail exited with PS_DNS.
I think the correct behavior should be to print out an errormessage like
that and skip this host but poll the others.
I think you'll find this was patched in 5.8.2:
* Don't cough and die from failure to resolve a skipped host. Resolves
Debian bug #92530
