It is my understanding that the EHLO localhost is being issued by

If this is the case how can the contents of the mail affect the smtp
initiation from fetchmail?
I was confused. Please apologize.
You can try to relax the HELO/EHLO restrictions by putting
permit_mynetworks on the smtpd_helo_restrictions early, say:
smtpd_helo_restrictions =
permit_mynetworks
reject_non_fqdn_hostname
reject_invalid_hostname
reject_unknown_hostname
Alternatively, for tighter control, you can try to use restriction
classes in Postfix to allow "EHLO localhost" from 127.0.0.1 (or your own
IP) but to forbid it from any other hosts. Ralf Hildebrandt has
examples, check www.postfix.org, click "Documentation and Howtos", then
search that HTML page for "Hildebrandt" and follow the link next to his
name.
