According to the docs it only means bouncing the mail to the local
postmaster instead of the sender. Either there is more undocumented
functionality or it does not help since in my case there was no bounce at
all.

Yes, that might have helped. After all fetchmail.1 says:
... This
is one of the only three circumstance under which fetch
mail ever discards mail (the others are the 552 and 553
errors described below, and the suppression of mul
tidropped messages with a message-ID already seen).
Well if it had send a bounce it would be okay IMO. But I did not notice one
and neither did anyone tell me he received one.
