Okay.

I guarantee that this is not a getmail error.  What you're seeing above is a
*sendmail* error.

You didn't post any of your configuration information, so there's no way to
tell where it's going wrong, but it's out of getmail's control.  To debug this
yourself, take cron out of the equation entirely, and run getmail yourself in
a shell, specifying exactly one rc file.  Try each rc file until you find the
one(s) that show this error.

Then, if you need help figuring it out, reproduce the problem as above with
the --trace option, and include the full command and output in your email,
along with the output of getmail with those options plus the --dump option to
show your config.  Don't edit the output of either of these things.
