it checks to see if 'iserv.example.net' is a DNS alias of your +mailserver before accepting 'ksturgeon@fbceg.example.org' as an envelope address. This check might fail if your DNS were misconfigured, or -if you were using 'no dns' and had failed to declare iserv.ttns.net -as an alias of your server.

+if you were using 'no dns' and had failed to declare iserv.example.net +as an alias of your server. The typical hint is logging similar to: +line rejected, iserv.example.net is not an alias of the mailserver, +if you use fetchmail in verbose mode.

+ +

Workaround: You can specify the alias explicitly, with aka + iserv.example.net statements in the rcfile. Replace +iserv.example.net by the name you find in your +'by' part of the 'Received:' line.
