Now it seems that exim sends the mail to smarthost eventhough the mail
is from fetchmail and is meant for you.
What is your fetchmailrc like?
Mine is like this:
poll incoming.myisp.com
user username_in_isp
password secret
is username_local_user
Also make sure that your /etc/mailname is set correctly. I have
something.myisp.com (where something is the dynamic part of my FQDN)
as the mailname and I also have that in the dc_other_hostnames list.
I guess the main problem here is the name of your machine.
See also the question G11 in /usr/share/doc/fetchmail/fetchmail-FAQ.html.
