This is not true.
I have the following in my fetchmailrc, and fetchmail is started
via /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
set daemon 900
poll mailserver.myisp.com with proto pop3
user email_account pass my_password is my_local_login here
smtpaddress mydomain.com
This means:
a. get mail from my ISP mailserver with my email account and
password.
b. send the mail using local smtp server (qmail in my case)
using the name my_local_login@mydomain.com
Hope this help.
