Nonono!!! I mean, use the "no dns" option in your fetchmailrc
poll mail.vsnl.net with proto pop3 no dns

Like I said, take a look at http://www.hserus.net/sendmail.html -it _is_ a
working .mc file, and I use it at home (on bplnet / vsnl dialups). Of
course, I use an smtp server provided by my webhost, that allows relaying by
pop before smtp authentication.
Running fetchmail for that account from /etc/ppp/ip-up.local (or by hand)
first ... you wont need that hassle if you use your own ISP's mailserver.
