Yo tengo fetchmail funcionando sin problemas con exim bajo Potato...
Eso si, hay un toque medio curioso con exim, segun el FAQ de fetchmail:
T3. How can I use fetchmail with exim?
If you have rewrite on:
There is an RFC1123 requirement that MAIL FROM and RCPT TO addresses
you pass to it have to be canonical (e.g. with a fully qualified
hostname part). Therefore fetchmail tries to pass fully qualified RCPT
TO addresses. But exim does not by default accept 'localhost' as a
fully qualified domain. This can be fixed.
In exim.conf, add 'localhost' to your local_domains declaration if
it's not already present. For example, the author's site at
thyrsus.com would have a line reading:
local_domains = thyrsus.com:localhost
If you have rewrite off:
MAIL FROM is a potential problem if the MTAs upstream from your
fetchmail don't necessarily pass canonicalized From and Return-Path
addresses, and fetchmail's rewrite option is off. The specific case
where this has come up involves bounce messages generated by sendmail
on your mailer host, which have the (un-canonicalized) origin address
MAILER-DAEMON.
The right way to fix this is to enable the rewrite option and have
fetchmail canonicalize From and Return-Path addresses with the
mailserver hostname before exim sees them. This option is enabled by
default, so it won't be off unless you turned it off.
If you must run with rewrite off, there is a switch in exim's
configuration files that allows it to accept domainless MAIL FROM
addresses; you will have to flip it by putting the line
sender_unqualified_hosts = localhost
in the main section of the exim configuration file. Note that this
will result in such messages having an incorrect domain name attached
to their return address (your SMTP listener's hostname rather than
that of the remote mail server).
