I am not sure because I have disabled/deinstalled stuff which
triggered the assignment of the 149.254.x.y address.

You are right, there is no need anymore to check if the mail server
can be resolved before starting fetchmail. Nevertheless I still have
the unbound.service and the opensmtpd.service in the Requires= and
After= sections. The reason is that incoming mails are routed via
opensmtpd because fetchmail runs as an unprivileged user. Additionally
the setup is indemendent of the mail server. Then the mails are sorted
by maildrop. As far as I remember forwarding the mails from an
unprivileged fetchmail to maildrop running as my user did not work.
Now incoming mails appear in /var/log/mail.log, too which is also
nice.

I have still a lot to learn.
