When you use the "mail" command localy, postfix uses "smtp" to attempt deliver email to a local user. When incoming email arrives from network, the process called is "smtpd" - Take a look in master.cf
Your fetchmail may cause problems due to the local delivery method used. If you want to use fetchmail and pass the email through "smtpd" with content filtering and virtual users, you have to tell fetchmail to use an SMTP connection for example : fetchmail --all --smtpaddress domain.com --smtphost 127.0.0.1 Then fetchmail won't try to use the LMTP, but SMTP connects to Postfix and its "smtpd" process which follows the classic steps. Hope this help!
