I'm not too hot on fetchmail setup, so there may be a better way - but 
you might need to tell your local mail server (Exim) about the user 
'gloucs@mailman.lug.org.uk'.

With Postfix this would be done by adding an entry to 
/etc/postfix/virtual, something like:
gloucs@mailman.lug.org.uk    local-user

For sendmail you would make a similar entry in /etc/mail/virtusertable. 
 I'm not sure what the corresponding setup is for Exim though.
