This error message is very clear.

Your MTA has told fetchmail that it will not accept the mail, for a policy
reason set on your MTA (the domain of the envelope sender does not resolve).
But it has given a temporary error (4xx) instead of a permanent error (5xx)
which would allow fetchmail to bounce the mail.

fetchmail cannot do anything about this except leave the mail on the server.

Adjust your MTA configuration to fix this.

Looks like your POP3 server has sent a corrupted message for message 8,
probably not terminated with \r\n.\r\n

Again, nothing fetchmail can do if your POP3 server violates the protocol in
a gross manner.
