did you send to a domain, or the ip address ?

hmm, check postfix.org ?
mail:/kolab/etc/postfix# grep transport *
Makefile:T_TRANSPORT  = transport
main.cf:transport_maps = hash:/kolab/etc/postfix/transport
main.cf:mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/kolab/var/kolab/lmtp
main.cf.old:transport_maps = hash:/kolab/etc/postfix/transport
main.cf.old:mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/kolab/var/kolab/lmtp
postfix-files:$config_directory/transport:f:root:-:644:p
postfix-files:$manpage_directory/man5/transport.5:f:root:-:644
postfix-files:$sample_directory/sample-transport.cf:f:root:-:644

my transport file contains:
nothing. Or everything is commented out. Do you have one?
else, try to make an empty one, and then make it a .db with postmap 
transport
maybe write this in it:
yourdomain.com	:
*	smtp:mail.yourisp.com

my /etc/fetchmailrc contains:
set syslog
set postmaster postmaster at yourdomain.com

#set nobouncemail
#set invisible

poll <pop3.example.com>
         proto POP3
         options tracepolls
         user YOURPOP3USER password YOURPOP3PASS is 
\YOURKOLABEMAILWITH at DOMAIN here
         options forcecr fetchall


if you want to do multidrop, for more than one user... read the 
fetchmail howto
