Fetchmail is not the tool you want to use to do this job. Fetchmail fetches 
mail. It can do one or two other things in the process - like rewriting user 
names and coping with multidrop - but only the minimum required to 
successfully fetch mail in most situations. 

Sounds like you need a program like maildrop to process the incoming 
messages.
