Actually, in this case I think you have an EXCELLENT chance of
getting the software fixed.  The prime person behind fetchmail is
Eric Raymond, who has also been personally advocating SPF
(see http://lwn.net/Articles/66877).  Please figure out specifically
what's wrong, what it should be changed to and why, and send him an
email (esr at thyrsus.com).

Then you have the problem of getting people to upgrade, but at
least you've lessened the problem.
