[fetchmail]Need to adjust HELO domain and Mail From: used by fetchmail

[David C Niemi]

Yes, you have it right.  It is not just a matter of PostFix rejecting the 
mail; I could configure PostFix differently, but only at the expense of 
letting in vast quantities of spam.  So I really want to be able to 
distinguish this email by having it use a proper hostname on the HELO 
line.  I get the impression that Fetchmail doesn't let you control what it 
says on the HELO line, though I couldn't quite find it in the 
documentation.
