Help with Fetchmail/Exim

[doublea]

I'm trying to set up fetchmail with the following fetchmail.rc:

poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3
user '[email protected]' there with password 'mypassword' is "andy" here options ssl

where my local username is andy. I get the following error when I run fetchmail -vk:

fetchmail: SMTP> HELO server.antilogic.net
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 server.antilogic.net Hello localhost [127.0.0.1]
fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<>
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 OK
fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 Accepted
fetchmail: SMTP> DATA
fetchmail: SMTP< 354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself
fetchmail: SMTP: (bounce-message body)
fetchmail: SMTP>. (EOM)
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 OK id=1HqGYm-0006JN-DL
fetchmail: SMTP> QUIT
fetchmail: SMTP< 221 server.antilogic.net closing connection
fetchmail: SMTP> RCPT TO:<andy@localhost>
fetchmail: SMTP< 550 Unrouteable address
fetchmail: can't even send to andy!
fetchmail: SMTP> RSET
fetchmail: SMTP< 250 Reset OK


So...I'm still trying to familiarize myself with how mail gets from fetchmail->?exim-> dovecot, but it seems I have some small problem with exim if fetchmail doesn't know about an actual local user andy...Can anyone give me any advice on what to persue?

There's no mailbox for andy@localhost. Doesn't exist. If you can't figure out how to do a better fetchmail configuration you may have to rewrite exim.conf to allow it and forward it to where you want it to go.
