Perhaps try something other than fetchmail, which doesn't even try to
do delivery by re-injecting with SMTP (that's just a recipe for bounced
mail).
You could try my own program, getmail. It's simple to use, and does local
deliveries directly into Maildirs (or mboxes, if you prefer).
It's very simple to set up, and determines local recipients based on the
contents of the Delivered-To: header as a first choice.
