Paul, fetchmail doesn't put email anywhere. It connects to port 25, which is the port that your Mail Transfer Agent uses. Fetchmail connects to your mail server and downloads messages, and delivers them to port 25 where either smail or exim is listening. Then exim or smail is responsible for delivering the messages to local users.
