sada obviously uses fetchmail get his mail from a pop account, which then
injects it into the local QMail system (using SMTP), to sada@localhost.
Unfortunately (due to a configuration error), localhost is not in his locals
file, and also localhost is usually not set up in the DNS system. QMail
doesnt consult /etc/hosts - hence theres a configuration error and the mail
is returned.
That you get the bounce... Hm.. During the POP fetch process, the envelope
address usually get lost, I assume.. It could be argued what fetchmail should
insert as envelope-from when it delivers the mail locally, but it seems like
its doing a guess...
