I've been thinking about setting up qmail, and I'll have the same problem.
I'm interested in what people have to say about this.

I believe fetchmail just takes the userid off of the addresses when it gets

userid. I matched up my e-mail address userid to my local userid by throwing
an entry into the mail alias file in /usr/lib.
