Not inside fetchmail.

As you see here, your local MTA doesn't accept the sender domain,
click4solutions..., and temporarily refuses the message, so fetchmail
tries again at the next poll cycle.

Messages about size mismatches are warnings (most of the time at least)
and don't make fetchmail abort the delivery voluntarily.

You might try to blacklist that click4sol... domain in your MTA so it
responds with some code between 500 and 599 inclusively, then fetchmail
will know it's pointless to retry.
