Thanks for your replies,

I checked the ISP side, there's sendmail running as MTA and the particular 
multidrop box is created with an "@domain.com  dropbox" entry in the 
virtusertable there. Looking at the mail before I'm fetching it shows there'
s a "Recieved: from ... for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; date" (There is 
more stuff in the Recieved line I cut out here).

So I put an "envelope Received" in my fetchmailrc (isn't this default
anyway?)- to no avail, ml mails still get delivered to the postmaster.

I'm just pasting the poll-part of my fetchmailrc here, maybe the position is 
wrong (though I don't get syntax error when running):

<snip>
poll mailserver.somewhere.com with proto POP3 and options no dns
        localdomains domain.com
        envelope Received
        user 'dropbox' there with password 'topsecret' to * here options 
fetchall
</snip>

Ey, nice idea also. Though too much trouble at this time, I hope to get away 
from POP3 with an MX record in about 2 weeks time and fetchmail will be
history then.

Thanks for more input.
