I think, the pedro@austrialpinusa.com is not an incoming mail server, it is 
an e-mail address. You sholud give the pop3, IMAP, ETRN or ODMR mailserver name 
to the fetchmail, to fetch the mail from the mailserver.

man fetchmail

My fetchmailrc follows:
----------------->
set no bouncemail
defaults:
     antispam -1
     batchlimit 100

fetchall
smtp localhost	# I use fetchmail with exim
poll incoming_mailserver_name proto pop3 user "username_for_mailserver" pass "password_for_mailserver"
----------------<

pop3 is the protocol for this mail server. For yours it is mybe different 
(see abowe).
