I'm no expert on this (I just started using linux), but I think you might
want to say
fetchmail ... -m "sendmail %s"
where %s will be filled in with the user name executing the fetchmail
program. This is what I have in my .fetchmailrc
poll theseus with proto pop3 port 5555 timeout 45:
user jkloss
pass password
mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail %s"
fetchall
preconnect "ssh -f -L 5555:my.school.edu:110 my.school.edu 'sleep
60' > /dev/null"
so the line mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail %s" does what you want I think.
hope this is relevant
