Yes, you have it right. It is not just a matter of PostFix rejecting the
mail; I could configure PostFix differently, but only at the expense of
letting in vast quantities of spam. So I really want to be able to
distinguish this email by having it use a proper hostname on the HELO
line. I get the impression that Fetchmail doesn't let you control what it
says on the HELO line, though I couldn't quite find it in the
documentation.
Try setting smtphost. I'm guessing that fetchmail does a rDNS on the
IP of the outbound interface. Also worth checking that "hostname"
does return something other than "localhost" or
"localhost.localdomain".
