No.
What's happened is that fetchmail expects the Delivered-To header to
have the real recipient in it. Which means that it's probably picking up
the qmail list server Delivered-To: header.
Petre: You probably want to look at the documentation for the qvirtual
command in your fetchmailrc.
It's still a fetchmail error rather than a qmail one though.
