Fetchmail only fetches the email from a remote pop/imap server and hands
off to the local smtp server for local delivery and/or forwarding. His

smtp service is not delivering the emails that fetchmail is retrieving.
Unfortunately, it is not clear from his message that his local smtp
service is or is not exim...
