-No special configuration is required. Eric Allman tells me that if

+G&uuml;nther Leber reports that Digital Unix sendmails won't work with
+fetchmail. The symptom is an error message "553 Local configuration
+error, hostname not recognized as local". The problem is that
+fetchmail normally feeds sendmail with the client machine's host
+address in the MAIL FROM line. These sendmails think this means
+they're seeing the result of a mail loop and suppress the mail. You
+may be able to work around this by running in --invisible mode.
