Look under the "Run control heading in the fetchmail (1) man page, it is there. However, here is mine (with accounts, machine names, and passwords removed).
#poll mail.myoldisp.net proto pop3 user <username> pass <passwd> poll pop-server.mynewisp.com proto pop3 user <username> pass <passwd> poll mail.myschool.edu proto pop3 user <username> pass <passwd> Now whenever I run fetchmail it querys both mail servers.
