No, the fetchmailrc is unique to you.  There's no way to provide you
with a relevant one without you providing a lot of information.

On the host running postfix.

Wherever you want - if you don't specify it on the command line it
needs to be in $HOME/.fetchmailrc of the user running fetchmail, which
shouldn't be root.  As for the correct settings, I just did a search
for "fetchmail" on the RT wiki and found a large number of documents
that are relevant, including:

Do make use of the wiki - it's pretty much all we needed to get our RT
install up and running (the book came in handy a few times too).
