Exactly. This wasn't a problem as one employee would sift through the
postmaster email every day, that was until spammers started spamming
randomly generated addresses at their domain. She received all these
too :-/

Ahh, I se what you mean. This howerver would lead to the same issue I
have above .. over populating the email with fake addresses and a load
of spam.
Before we get into the spam topic ... this is being sorted soon ;-)

It is not fetchmail's fault ...it's multidrop... an email account was
never designed for several users, as in several accounts coming into
one, and then being split again after download. This is in fact what
is happening. MUltidrop is simply a "solution" to the problem, bt
it'snot failproof and stuff goes wrong. I thought there might be a
better way to solve the problem though, but the solution is simple:
get them onto a real system ;-)
Anyway, thanks for your input!
Greetings,
Ralph
