[ale] fetchmail, ETRN, past gateway?

Hi,
I'm trying to make an ETRN mail server deliver mail past my mail
gateway directly to a box behind my dialup box.

Here's my setup.

ISP-Mailbag >-- Inet --< sylvester.dsj.net
                               \/
                                |
                              Lan hub
			      |
			      |-- puddin.dsj.net
			      |-- juno.dsj.net
			      |-- tweety.dsj.net
			      |-- about three other boxes
			          with various OS's

How can I get puddin, juno, tweety, or others to query
ISP-Mailbag with proto ETRN so mail doesn't just get mailed to
sylvester.dsj.net?  (That's what happens now.)

I read the fetchmail man page, and it looks like fetchmail should
by default deliver to the machine it was invoked on (puddin in
this case), but that's not what happened.

Sylvester's mail log gets entries like this:

Aug  9 14:19:38 sylvester sendmail[25768]: NOQUEUE:
Authentication-Warning: sylvester.dsj.net: Host
qmaild at mailstop.gwinnett.com [204.89.227.36] claimed to be
AutoTURN

Is there something my ISP needs to change?  Do you need more
info?
