In this case, fetchmail is polling the user's externally hosted pop3 mail and 
storing it locally (mbox), user logs on in the morning and downloads mail 
from local server.  I'm a bit foggy on this, but doesn't the X-UID header get 
written by sendmail on the local machine when it delivers the mail to the 
user's mbox file? Or is it done by fetchmail? Or somewhere else?
