Please mail to the list in future.

Side note: You should not run programs like fetchmail as root.
If I am pulling mail for multiple local users, and use procmail as the
MDA, what is the preferred mode? Make a fetchmail user and put it in
the group that can write to /var/mail/ ?

AFAIK procmail is usually installed SUID root and changes its UID to the
user he delivers to, so you don't need to bother. The user under which
fetchmail runs does only need minimum rights.
