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.
