Yes, I can also specify this in the fetchmailrc, but it doesn't solve
the problem that userA does not receive his mail if userB is not known.
All this does (I believe) is forward the unknown users to another
machine. There is no other machine to forward to as all the users are on
this current machine itself. The unknown users I am referring to are
other users from different domains (not ours) included in the To and CC
fields.
I did a lot more searching around after my initial post, and have
discovered that this kind of setup is by default hopeless for multi-user
mail, and multi-drop is just a make-do solution for those who have no
choice. We will move this customer to an hosting company who does
support separate mailboxes themselves, allowing each individual user to
download only their mail, and not all in one go and have to re-split it
all up again. It's
Thanks,
Ralph
