Is probably trying to authenticate the sender with a reverse-lookup
and failing at it, you could reconfigure your sendmail to avoid
authentication (but this will increase the amount of spam probably).

You don't. If fetchmail delete the message on the external server and
then (for any reason) he can't send the mail to the internal one your
mail is lost.

Thank you very much.

But, How can I configure my sendmail to avoid authentication? I have tried
out every option I have read, but I can't get it.
