A mailbox for whom? Fetchmail will just deliver the mail to the local
users specified in the "'user' here" definition.

The only comment I'd have is that you're delivering mail to root - bad!

PS. I'm assuming that you have your Debian box set-up as per standard,
so it comes with exim installed.

(Fetchmail acts as a process between the outside world and a process
that receives mail like exim or sendmail.)
