Thanks, I'll try getting procmail to deal with it.

[ Eric, can we get this put in the FAQ - it's coming up a lot right now ]

I just recently installed fetchmail.  It works great! One thing, though
...
I noticed when I checked e-mail, the received date for all the messages
was
the same (of course -- since they were fetched together).  Is there a way
to get the MTA (in this case sendmail, although I'll be moving to
postfix)
to use the received date from the server that mail is being fetched from?

It's all down to your mail client, not the MTA.  It uses the last
Received:
header to generate the received date.

The only option you've got is to deliver direct via procmail or similar.
