    If I understand the various tools correctly I don't believe any settings
    in sendmail will affect how fetchmail works. Fetchmail should be
    connecting to your ISP accounts pretty much like your email client does
    using pop or imap and pulling the email down and storing it in your
    mailbox so you can access it locally using pop or imap.

    Would be interesting to identify the incorrect header it is choking on.
    Sounds like a good item to file a bug report on so it can be fixed.
