Which fetchmail rule do you have that is trying to send email? Is this an autoresponse rule? The problem is that comma in the email address - it's making your SMTP server think that you've given it a "route address" [1], a special form of email address that also includes routing information about where to send the message to get it to its final destination. Because there's nothing after the comma, the address is malformed. Remove the comma and things should work right. [1] See http://www.remote.org/jochen/mail/info/address.html, scroll down to "Source Routes" -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
