He does not, and since his postfix is not authoritative, he also
should not.  Wade, what is the "mda" line in your fetchmail config
file?  It should be something like
  mda "/usr/local/bin/procmail <somearglist>"
or some other LDA (Dovecot's, for example) and appropriate parameters.

If it's along the lines of
  mda "/path/to/postfix"
it's just going to get sent back out via SMTP.
