Postfix is an MTA and thus both sends and receives mail messages. It sends to other MTAs and gets mail by other MTAs. Fetchmail has nothing to do with that in this regard. The MTAs on Fedora Core (Sendmail, Postfix and Exim) are configured by default to only listen on localhost. So they do not listen on public interfaces / IPs and so no mail can be delivered from outside. Too the mail from a foreign MTA must have the possibility to find it's way to the target MTA by a valid MX record (a proper DNS setup is essential for each MTA host; while an A record is normally sufficient it is better to have a valid MX record set). The original poster should start reading very basic literature and documentation about setting up a mail server (MTA and POP3/IMAP server). One has to understand many things up to the point such a service can be handled properly.
