Since you are running it as root, it will attempt to delive the mail
from your ISP to "root" user. This is a bad practice.
My .fetchmailrc looks like this:
set daemon 300
poll "pop1.sympatico.ca"
uidl
proto pop3
user "blah"
pass "blah"
is local_blah here
nokeep
mda "/usr/sbin/exim -d %s"
Notice that line "is local_blah here"? Change local_blah for your
local machine's user name.
For other options read "man fetchmail", it's really well-written. If
you have any questions after that, don't hesitate to post. :)
