OK, but I don't think that mine is any different than yours.

In my case I don't need that line. I have a script that runs as each user in
sequence from a cron job. Or at least it will once I get this fixed. ;)

If it helps, here is the error that I get when fetchmail runs:
**************
1 message for jdavis70 at pop-server.tampabay.rr.com (1384 octets).
reading message jdavis70@pop-server.tampabay.rr.com:1 of 1 (1384
octets) .fetchmail: SMTP error: 504 <jeff@localhost>: Recipient address
rejected: need fully-qualified address
fetchmail: mail from FETCHMAIL-DAEMON@localhost.localdomain bounced to
jdavis70@tampabay.rr.com
fetchmail: can't even send to jeff!
 flushed
*************

Why is jeff@localhost a bad address only when fetchmail runs?
