You can start by keeping traffic on the list, rather than emailing me
directly - as it says in my .sig.

Try installing a fresh copy of fetchmail.  It's likly that your
upgrade, as isn't uncommon, broke something.  Ideally install from
source (if you later want to replace it with one from an RPM that's
your choice).
