That is not a valid email address - you have @ in it twice.

my qmail server is using 25 port for sending mail.
But the new ISP uses 587 port. how could i change port from 25 to 587

You have to modify your .fetchmailrc.

Have a look at this link:

fetchmail does allow you to specify port with --port flag. Type "man fetchmail" to see more details.
