Personally, I hate multidrop mailboxes. They are an admin's nightmare, especially when used with fetchmail (what else do you use with them, anyway??). Instead of getting one 50MB mailbox for everyone, its any day better to get ten 5 MB mailboxes from your mail hosting service provider. Just my opinion, of course. My experience is based on sendmail/procmail/fetchmail. Other MTAs might have cleaner methods of handling multidrops... To the OP: for "normal" multidrop deliveries, a fetchmailrc like: poll servername user username pass password is * here; should be enough.
