You'll probably have to configure your SMTP server to handle this, I
don't think you can do this with fetchmail.

One warning - your config seems to suggest you're running it as root.
Recent versions of fetchmail will warn you about doing this and future
versions may refuse to run as root.  Create an unpriviledged user for
fetchmail and run it under this account instead.
