If you are confused, I guess its confusing!

"fetched domains" means the recepient domains found in the mail's to:, cc:
and bcc: fields on the server you are fetching from that you want James to
fetch and process. See
http://james.apache.org/server/2.3.0/fetchmail_configuration.html#remotereci
pient for the contrary case.

I cannot recall this question being asked before. Feel free to submit this
as a Fetchmail issue on JIRA - http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES if
you think we could explain this better, ideally with some alternative text.
