Can you describe the symptoms more accurately? What makes you think that
fetchmail is doing DNS lookups? What exactly is it looking up - smtp
hostname, sender addresses, recipient addresses, ...?

Are you sure it's not your SMTP MTA which is doing DNS lookups when it
receives MAIL FROM or RCPT TO commands from fetchmail?
