There is a explanation of this behavior in the Fetchmail FAQ:

http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html#S4

The basic problem is how Demon formats their headers, there are
multiple machines accepting the mail, and passing it on to their
'mailstore' machine.  Fetchmail will try to resolve 'mailstore'
and fail, thus skipping the header.  You can tell fetchmail not
to do DNS lookups and alias your pop server.

There are a few possible solutions which are outlined in the
above link.  They go into much better detail.
