When the only client of your MTA is fetchmail, you can't realistically reject stuff at that level anyways. Reconfigure your MTA (looks like it is smail, based on other debug output in your message) so that it accepts everything passed to it.

$ dnsdomainname comcast.net $ hostname a1700xp
So I have my machine and my ISP name. The machine is on my private lan with a router and NAT keeping me safe from the ISP the internet. I wonder if my dnsdomainname should be the ISP name (or localdomain or an IP number) since I am in my user private IP address range 192.168.2.X . Is that the correct dnsdomainname for my setup?
I've got the default knoppix debian linux file called: $ view /etc/smail/config
