fetchmail with multidrop & mailing lists

At the moment we as using fetchmail (SLES9, 6.2.5) to pick up our
emails (for approx 200 users) from our multidrop box. Everything
works fine as long as the receivers address is in the TO: header.

for example To: <firstname.lastname@to_domain.tld>

Our problem is that when users are on a mailling list, the email with the following headers

To: <mailing.list@from_domain.tld>
X-Envelope-To: <firstname.lastname@domain.tld>

is delivered to postmaster account because the To: address is not recognised. These mails must be then manually forwarded (from admin)
to their receivers.

Question?

How do we have to setup fetchmail to use the X-Envelope-To:
header if the To: header is not recognised. Will this have any
side-effects for SPAM and such.


This is our /etc/fetchmailrc

defaults proto pop3
set postmaster postmaster@to_domain.tld
poll post.provider.tld localdomains to_domain.tld:
user "postmaster@to_domain.tld" with pass "mypass" to * here


Your Help would be very welcomed, as our users are complaining
that the emails are taking to long to arrive.
(mostly they are mails with iron/steel/copper prices)

Best Regards

Frieling

XkbComputeShapeTop(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbComputeShapeTop(3)

NAME
XkbComputeShapeTop - Determines the bounding box of the top surface of a shape SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbComputeShapeTop ( shape, bounds_rtrn ) XkbShapePtr shape; XkbBoundsPtr bounds_rtrn; ARGUMENTS
- shape shape to be examined - bounds_rtrn backfilled with the bounding box for the shape DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of convenience functions to help use a keyboard geometry. These include functions to return the bounding box of a shape's top surface and to update the bounding box of a shape row or section. A shape is made up of a number of outlines. Each outline is a polygon made up of a number of points. The bounding box of a shape is a rec- tangle that contains all the outlines of that shape. XkbComputeShapeTop returns a BoundsRec that contains two x and y coordinates. These coordinates describe the corners of a rectangle that contains the outline that describes the top surface of the shape. The top surface is defined to be the approximating outline if the approx field of shape is not NULL. If approx is NULL, the top surface is defined as the last outline in the shape's array of outlines. XkbCom- puteShapeTop returns False if shape is NULL or if there are no outlines for the shape; otherwise, it returns True. STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbBounds { short x1,y1; /* upper left corner of the bounds, in mm/10 */ short x2,y2; /* lower right corner of the bounds, in mm/10 */ } XkbBoundsRec, *XkbBoundsPtr; X Version 11 libX11 1.2.1 XkbComputeShapeTop(3)
