There's been a problem of people sending HTML only emails to the list
lately, resulting in the allowed types being clamped down on.  If you
can did out the MIME type for the signed email I'll see about adding
it to the list of allowed types.

Well, by default fetchmail will try to connect to an SMTP on loopback.
 If you're running an SMTP server
(sendmail/postfix/exim/qmail/whatever) then you can have fetchmail
just pass the email on to it.

(If that's equally as clear as mud let me know - it's getting a late here :>)
