Hi, I don't know what the problem is, and I avoid using fetchmail
because I really hate when it bounces mail, but I did notice this:

We see anne at busby.net -> clearsol at localhost -> busby at wasp.net.au ->
clearsol at localhost -> clearsol at busby.net, then the bounce. Is it
possible that clearsol at busby.net forwards mail to anne at busby.net (which
would create the aforementioned loop)? Also, I don't know why there is
"localhost" all over the place, but I have noticed such things popping
up in postfix systems before.
