Oooooookay. Thanks for that. exim, fetchmail and procmail seem to be doing their thing now.
For some tests, I setup 2 pop3 accounts on a different server, and added 2 fetchmail entries for them, and 2 procmail entries. They're getting to the right IMAP folder and everything, which is exciting!
Like Jeremy said, there the onces not addressed to me are not being sorted right. My procmail entries look at the To: line, but that's all I can think to look at. One of the accounts is this one...linux@bizniche.com. Nowhere in the header so I see linux@bizniche.com. It seems to me that it should be in the Envelope-To: field...but that one is always mdg@localhost.
Reading around on the web, I see options for fetchmail like 'envelope' and 'no envelope' and stuff. But nothing seems to work. It seems like there is a way to specify the string value of a header...so I can search for that with procmail. Is that right? Or maybe there is a way to tell fetchmail not to try and change any headers?
I've read the sections that seem to deal with headers here: http://www.catb.org/~esr/fetchmail/fetchmail-man.html a few million times, and they're not clear to me.
Anyone know how to make sure I get my email sorted when it doesn't come straight to me?

From http://www.gsp.com/cgi-bin/man.cgi?section=5&topic=procmailrc
If the regular expression contains ^TO_ it will be substituted by (^((Original-)?(Resent-)?(To |Cc |Bcc) |(X-Envelope |Apparently(-Resent)?)-To) :(.*[^-a-zA-Z0-9_.])?), which should catch all destination specifications containing a specific address.

This example shamelessly taken from http://perkypants.org/dotfiles/procmailrc

Make sense?
