I guess fetchmail is trying to deliver the message (which it just
fetched from upstream) by passing it to the local sendmail (or now
postfix)?

In my case I'm doing it differently. I'm passing the mails to procmail
as the local delivery agent:

defaults
        to "rhialto@localhost"
        mda "procmail -Y -f %F -d rhialto"

If you don't use procmail, I think there are several other local
delivery agents that just deliver to the local mailbox. local(8) comes
with postfix but maybe you can't just run it from fetchmail.
