Yes, you have it right. It is not just a matter of PostFix rejecting the
mail; I could configure PostFix differently, but only at the expense of
letting in vast quantities of spam. So I really want to be able to
distinguish this email by having it use a proper hostname on the HELO
line. I get the impression that Fetchmail doesn't let you control what it
says on the HELO line, though I couldn't quite find it in the
documentation.

I understand his question and unfortunatly do not know the answer
either. His mail is being rejected by his MTA "Postfix (or at least
mine is)" because the mta requires a Valid Helo Name.
Localhost.localdomain is not correct format. Correct format would be
mail.domain.tld What he needs to know is how to make Fetchmail say to
his local MTA Hi I am "mail.domain.tld" so that it doesn't reject right
away.
