| here it is.
| actually i'm using fetchmail as deamon so i only have /etc/fetchmailrc

Content-Description: fetchmailrc
| set postmaster "david@mortox"
| set no bouncemail
| set no spambounce
| set properties ""
| poll mail.internic.at with proto POP3
|        user 'david_upcs_at' there with password '*********' is 'david_upcs_at' here options fetchall
|  smtpaddress 'david@upcs.at'
| 


I noticed the error message had the address
"david_upcs_at@david@upcs.at", which is not a valid address (2 '@'
signs).  I'm not familiar with the "smtpaddress" directive in a
fetchmailrc, but it looks like fetchmail is combining the "is <name>
here" with that smtpaddress and coming up with an invalid address.

HTH,
