i did this 5-6 years ago for a client having 300+ mailboxes.

see for examples,
http://catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-man.html#24

at this point i recommend not using fetchmail. it's config file is hard
to parse or write by other programs, it causes mail loops and mail
losses frequently, mangles headers many time and has a history of security 
holes.
some of these problems are highly magnified when using multidrop mode.
being a postmaster for years now, i have seen many mis-directed bounces
on my servers by incorrectly configured fetchmail instances.

i highly recommed getmail. see,
