Read "The Use and Abuse of Multidrop Mailboxes" section of
the fetchmail man page.
Short answer:
If your ISP is using a mailer that writes an envelope address,
you are fine; otherwise, it cannnot be reliably done. Assume
your ISP mailer is okay, use the 'envelope' keyword. If your
ISP is using qmail, also look at 'qvirtual' keyword.
Hope this helps.
