If fetchmail is run ning as root, it sets its userid to that of the target user while delivering mail through an MDA. Some possible MDAs are "/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem", "/usr/lib/sendmail -oem", "/usr/bin/formail", and "/usr/bin/deliver". There's also a fetchmailrc keyword for this. I suggest procmail over deliver because for one procmail is in the simplest setup identical to deliver and it can use MH and Maildir folders (that is, whenever the next procmail gets uploaded with the Maildir patches) and it can also do spam filtering if you write a .rc's for it. Procmail does not require a .procmailrc unless you wanna do something fancy with it.
