So the satellite link is the first suspect, no? :-)

How does the satellite connection differ from the ADSL?

You quoted the SMTP dialog, but your problem is apparently POP3.
It shows the error, but not the preceding events.

Perhaps there's something obvious in the POP3 logging, but if not, sorry
- check http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html#G3 for information
lacking from your report (beyond the differences sat/dsl above) and run
fetchmail -vvv to see if you get POP3 logging.

I can't promise there's anything fetchmail could do about the issue though.
