I found that if /etc/fetchmailrc is missing the system will get the mail if ~/.fetchmailrc exists and you make a call to fetchmail for each user that requires. I could never get the system-wide fetchmail to work properly in debian. The documentation didn't explain it properly. If you get your /etc/fetchmailrc file to work for you, let me know.
