[Sussex] fetchmail

[Iain Stevenson]

... presumably since fetchmail passes messages on via SMTP they end up at 
wherever exim puts stuff for local users - so it becomes important that 
fetchmailrc identifies a local user properly in the way exim understands.

My system uses postfix and cyrus but simply using the local user account 
name in the fetchmail config did the trick.
