One thing you can do is to setup fetchmail so that it doesn't deliver through sendmail.

You need to add:
 mda "/usr/bin/procmail  -d  %T"

to your "options" in ~/.fetchmailrc

For instance my .fetchmailrc looks something like:

poll mail.domain.com protocol pop3 username peter password mysecretpassword options ssl mda "/usr/bin/procmail  -d  %T"

This does not answer all of your problems.. just the fetchmail bit...
