Thanks for the answers.
If you'd provided the real domain name I might have been able to help,
however...
It is ANY domain, EVERY domain.
If it really is *every* external domain that has a
problem, it is more likely to be trouble with your own DNS configuration.
I guessed it is a problem of sendmail.
Could you advise please how to configure DNS? I was not able to find any
document or HOW-TO.
DNS is rather more widespread than just fetchmail. Getting it correct isn't
trivial.
Type the following at the command prompt (on the box that fetchmail is on)
to test your DNS configuration:
host -t MX real.domain.com
If the result is reasonable, then the problem is with the way fetchmail is
talking to the DNS. Tell us a bit more about your configuration.
If the result is bad, your DNS configuration is completely messed up. If you
don't get this right, then nothing much will work.
If the host command doesn't exist at all on your setup, you're going to have
to figure out how nslookup works.
