You have two options :
1) Stop using SMTP with fetchmail. fetchmail, like all non-MTAs,
does not have a complete SMTP implementation and as such I
would not trust it. To take this option, put
options mda "/usr/bin/sendmail %T"
in the proper location of your .fetchmailrc
(curiosity: does user1 already have this in their config?)
2) Determine why your exim4 setup rejects fetchmail's SMTP
commands. To do this, run fetchmail in verbose mode so
that it logs the SMTP conversation and then post that.
