Fetchmail/Sendmail rejects

I run fetchmail in daemon mode to download
POP3 mail from my ISP.
Sendmail rejects many messages as for example:
Aug 14 16:59:33 beta sm-mta[35000]: i7E7DYje035000:
ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<fbbjqwvcydimv at lightspeedcredit.com>,
relay=localhost.home [127.0.0.1], reject=451
4.1.8 Domain of sender address fbbjqwvcydimv at lightspeedcredit.com
does not resolve
I am quite happy to have these rejected but it seems they don't
get deleted at the ISP end and clog up the mail box, I think
eventually confusing fetchmail.
Is there some reasonable way of disposing of these messages. I would
prefer not to download these into my normal user mailbox but I would
be quite happy to divert them to some pseudo user setup for the
purpose. I would imagine sendmail can be coaxed into doing this, but
how?
Responding to 2 or 3 lists using a valid e-mail address means that
I receive a lot of spam including much with unresolvable addresses.
I would appreciate any ideas.
