fetchmail, .forward, gotmail, yosucker

If I want to forward all the mail I pull via fetchmail to another
account, would a .forward file containing the destination address be
the easiest way to handle that?

Also, gotmail and yosucker let me pull mail from Hotmail and Yahoo
mail. I have the option to save those mails to mbox or pass them on to
procmail. If I want to forward all those to the same account I specify
in ~/.forward, will that then require a recipe in ~/.procmailrc?

IOW, am I correct in thinking that fetchmail treats mails it fetches as
if they were my local user's mail and the .forward handles them,
whereas mails pulled from Hotmail and Yahoo are *not* treated as a
local user's and therefore require the procmail recipe?

Uhh, why? Surely running fetchmail on the destination host would be the
obvious thing to do?

Until google gives me shell access, I'm forced to do it this way.
