None. This is why they are called "Received:".

It's postfix which finally delivers these mails to you. Fetchmail
connects to it via localhost. Look here:

 Received: from localhost (alfred.gayleard.eu [127.0.0.1]) by 
 alfred.gayleard.eu (Postfix) with ESMTP id BF4C622D57 for 
 [....]

Your local machine which claims to be "alfred.gayleard.eu" and which
has the IP 127.0.0.1 has received mail for "for" (which your header
lacks - a simple c&p fail).

It's postfix. Look again, it says "by alfred.gayleard.eu (Postfix)..."

It makes perfect sense, because this is the domain your postfix is
the final destination for. Postfix will attempt to deliver all mail to
this domain locally.
