As you can see, I do tell postfix to handle mail from
birchwoode.demon.co.uk in $mydestination but that doesn't seem to do
any good. fetchmail still thinks there are no local matches and dumps
the mail to postmaster.

I should have mentioned the problem more explicitly:
All mail comes to pop3.demon.co.uk addressed to
username(_at_)birchwoode(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk where username is the same username as
the user on my local machine.
The problem is that whatever I pull in with fetchmail gets passed to
postmaster on my local domain instead of to the user. Fetchmail
complains in the log that it cannot match the address (eg:
ali(_at_)birchwoode(_dot_)demon(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk) to any local user which is fair enough
as my local domain is pmac-g5.norton.co.uk so the equivalent user
here would be ali(_at_)pmac-g5(_dot_)norton(_dot_)co(_dot_)uk
Any reason you can't tell postfix that it handles email for
"birchwoode.demon.co.uk"? Doing that (and possibly adding it to
localdomains) should fix your problem.
Please DO NOT send me ANY email directly unless it's a privacy issue.
Reply-to mangled to assist those who don't read the above.
