[NTLUG:Discuss] Problems retrieving mail

I just started getting SMTP errors when retrieving my mail using
fetchmail. I've been using fetchmail for a while with no problem but this
just started for some reason. I haven't made any configuration changes to
my bash configuration or to sendmail. Any help would be appreciated.

I've inserted transcripts of my errors below.

Thanks,
Keith

Here is my .fetchmailrc:

  poll mail.earthlink.net protocol POP3 username dkrcomp password ********

Here is what I get when I run fetchmail:

  [dkrcomp at dkrice1:~] 1003 $ fetchmail      
  1 message for dkrcomp at mail.earthlink.net (883 octets).
  reading message 1 of 1 (883 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 451
  <dkrcomp at earthlink.net>... Sender domain must resolve
  not flushed
  [dkrcomp at dkrice1:~] 1004 $ 

I get this when I run fetchmail in verbose mode:

  [dkrcomp at dkrice1:~] 1001 $ fetchmail -v
