You should not accept external mail claiming to be from your domain unless that 
mail comes via authenticated submission. But if the reply to is going to an 
internal address… 

I’m puzzled by exactly what you mean here. Are you saying that users on your 
system are trying to phish other users on your system?

I haven’t used fetch mail in many many years, so I can’t answer anything 
specifically about it, but if you use it to allow external senders to send mail 
via your system in a way that is not authenticated then you should not do that.
