   When I run fetchmail form a cron job I get the following error:

   I'm pretty sure that its fetchmail that is doing the DNS lookup

Then, I'm afraid to say, you are mistaken. This is an *SMTP* error as it
says, and it comes from your MTA (mail transfer agent)

You can test this yourself by doing a telnet to port 25 on your host and
entering

  ehlo wombat
  mail from:<CAAgent(_at_)BlueWaveDirect(_dot_)com>
  rcpt to:<spamcollector(_at_)domain(_dot_)com>
