Why dont you start with this example, just invert some bits ?

Thats exactly what lookup() does.

Fetchmail parses out both sender and recipient (if possible)
and you are free to push them into the environment (with env)
or add (recipient only) to the command-line of maildrop.
But maildrop will do a much better job with parsing anyway.
Check the archives a few days back, there are examples how to
invoke maildrop via fetchmail.

Have a look at the headers, if they all have 'Return-Path:' near
the top you dont need anything else. If not nag at your provider
to get a local-delivery with rfc-compatible headers.
