Postfix must be seeing the mail if it's delivering it to the spool, that's
what Postfix does. Fetchmail wouldn't know where to put the mail, it just
passes it to whoever is listening on port 25, ie. Postfix.

Now that the mail's in /var/spool/mail/kasper, anyone who sets their mail
client to the address of your mail server, and provides your username and
password, will get whatever is in the spool (assuming you installed the
'imap' software package).

Now you can either separate out the mail using Procmail (by From:, or
whatever) to different folders and different users, but it would be a lot
easier to get seperate e-mail addresses from the ISP for each user, then set
up accounts for them on the mail server.
