You should not accept external mail claiming to be from your domain unless that mail comes via authenticated submission. But if the reply to is going to an internal address… 

I’m puzzled by exactly what you mean here. Are you saying that users on your system are trying to phish other users on your system?

I haven’t used fetch mail in many many years, so I can’t answer anything specifically about it, but if you use it to allow external senders to send mail via your system in a way that is not authenticated then you should not do that.
