See if you can make Postfix show more debug info
Ok, I did that today. But I don't see anything else clear. First, it downloaded one email from two diferent servers, without a problem. It also sent a pending email to the list. Then it started to download the first email from tiscali... and stuck. Here goes the log, trimmed a bit (** replaces addreses names, date and hostname form every line removed).

A minute later, that same email is downloaded cleanly (long log, for comparison): [I moved this to attached gziped text file - I don't know if it will pass, but in plain email it did not (probably overlarge), although suse server claimed it did as AE95611A347C. No bounce :-/ ] I'll leave the log there, it continues. But by now fetchmail is already downloading the second email, and postfix is passing the first to amavis-new.
Only a good look in your logs with debug level up a few steps would show why Postfix and Fetchmail can't get along. Also; are mails stuck in any queue during this time-out? 'mailq'
None, empty queue. I hope you can see something I don't :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFBwzrFtTMYHG2NR9URAlcnAJ9TKkYOSndeMwKrPC2Bkh+G3zEO1ACfRkO3 GRfcaj9Wgajo0dIxYIiEHck= =Ufjw -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
