We went though this on the bug tracker. SA is failing to differentiate
between an mx handover and submission. The main way that it does this
via internal and trusted network settings. If you have submission on
the same IP address as the MX server, or you network setting are wrong
then it can fall back to detecting Authentication. In your case no
authentication is recorded in the received header.

This has nothing to do with pop or fetchmail, It's just that submission
servers commonly share an IP address with pop/imap.


What you need to do is determine whether the POP/submission server is
also the MX server. If it isn't then you fix your problem through
configuration, otherwise you have to work around it.
