my .fetchmailrc looks like:

poll pop.server.net proto pop3 user "me" with pass "password"
is "localuser" here forcecr smtpaddress localhost

man fetchmail says:
       The `forcecr' option controls whether lines terminated by
       LF only are given CRLF termination before forwarding.
       Strictly speaking RFC821 requires this, but few MTAs
       enforce the requirement it so this option is normally off
       (only one such MTA, qmail, is in significant use at time
       of writing).

running fetchmail-5.9.0-11 as root[0] on RH7.2

Conor

[0] runs as root to fetch mail for a number of different users...
