Fetchmail can do multi drop, it's a fairly standard setup. Check the docs.

I find Gmail web interface good enough for my needs. Not sure why one would
want to use fetchmail and download emails.

Mutt can pull Gmail directly over IMAP and with a little help from light
weight smtp clients it can also send email directly. No need for fetchmail
or exim.

Unless you have 100% power backup and ISP connectivity don't run your own
mail server. You'll also require good anti spam solution.

Get a shared account with any web hosting provider or VPS and use that as
your smart host. You're already doing this with Gmail, I'm not sure what
exactly you are trying to accomplish.
