bcc'd mail does not typically contain the recipient address in it (qmail
servers are an exception; they record a variant of it in the Delivered-To:
header). Therefore fetchmail can't find the proper address to send the
mail to. Probably it's using something stupid, like <foo@bar>, and qmail
is rejecting it. Either configure fetchmail to default to a particular
address, or switch to getmail. You can find getmail at the link in my .sig.
