Maybe because other people doesnt have the same needs as you
have? Or maybe they knew postfix/fetchmail in advance.

I think you are mistaken. Kolab, or rather postfix can easily
recieve email from external, you just have to setup a MX DNS
record that points to your external kolab ip. (and possibly
turn off that sending is only allowed with a username).

Because this is not a kolab issue, but a postfix issue. So look
in the postfix documentation for how you can tell your postfix
that it must relay through a smtp server.
