I'm not very familiar with advanced fetchmail features, but with most
MTAs it's fairly easy to configure the MTA on box A to relay all or just
certain pieces of mail to an MTA on box B. I'm curious though - Why
wouldn't you just run fetchmail on box B to begin with?
As far as a strictly fetchmail solution goes, the MDA= option in the
.fetchmailrc allows you to pass off the mail to a program or script that
could do pretty much whatever you want. Out of the box, though? I
don't know...
