In your fetchmailrc file, insert multiple sets of fetchmail commands so the sever sites can be polled at once. Within each set of commands, after saying "poll account, password, blabla," add is <user> where <user> would be the name of the local user on the machine. You might want to read up on the fetchmail man page about multi-drop; this stuff gets kinda heave and I spent lots of time on it. The multi-drop thing allows you to have a central mail pickup and have all mail sent to users at that mail box be passed down and tossed to the respective local users. It works pretty well.
