If you've got fetchmail configured to retrieve messages from a remote MTA and deliver to a local MTA, say your local Sendmail instance, then put the RBL-matching stuff in your Sendmail configuration. The mail will still be fetched but will be discarded by your local MTA before dumping it in you local mailbox.

In principle, it would be better to have the system you are fetching the mail from do the RBL operations, but if you don't have control over it then you really don't get much choice. I'm using this setup myself and it works, but it offends my aesthetic sense. OTOH, I'm easily offended!

Your mileage may vary.
