From the fetchmail manpage: A single local name can be used to support redirecting your mail when your username on the client machine is dif- ferent from your name on the mailserver. When there is only a single local name, mail is forwarded to that local username regardless of the message's Received, To, Cc, and Bcc headers. For instance, poll pop3.somewhere.net proto pop3 user "SomeGuy" pass "bleh" is "sguy" here; should deliver fetched mail to /var/mail/sguy.
