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.
i don't mind this along as fetchmail continues to grab the other mails...
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.
why is there nothing fetchmail can do? could the code be written to deal
with improperly terminated emails?
this seems to be a similar to an issue discussed here:
http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3c1052935365.13340.2.camel%40ekern%3e
was this patch applied to 6.2.5?
Brian.
