Problem 2.
I'm trying to use multi-drop. user 'myispuser' is '*' here. Can't quite get
it right. All external mail goes to root (postmaster I guess). The problem
seems to be related to the host/domain name. If I send mail locally to

1. sendmail + fetchmail problem


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.
