These are most definitely wrong, you will need to prepend the variables
(localdomain is a variable, not a magic word) with a "$", plus you MUST
put the proper, i. e. fully-qualified host name, somewhere in your
main.cf, which is most probably not localhost.localdomain. If you leave
out the $ symbols, the names are taken literally.

Plus, if your entire system is to use procmail, you may (after you got
it to work) bypass Postfix by making fetchmail call procmail directly
(option --mda, check the docs). Resonably recent version of fetchmail
recommended.
