Run fetchmail in multidrop mode if you have multiple pop accounts
that is
user user1 with pass pass1 is user <local_user1> here
...
...
...
...
Or, use procmail to filter into each user's mailboxes.
VERBOSE=off
LOGFILE=$HOME/.procmail/proc.log
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail
SENDMAIL=/usr/lib/sendmail
#user1
:0:
*(^Reply-To:.*|^TO_)[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/var/spool/mail/user1
repeat for user 2, user 3 etc etc.
As you are running fetchmail as root this is no problem.
