Raj,
When fetchmail logs onto your ISP to check your mail, it logs onto your
user's mail box. It doesn't read the header of each letter, it simply
opens the box, grabs what's in there, and retrieves it. As such it
doesn't matter who the letter is addressed to. Fetchmail doesn't sort it,
just retrieves it.
To sort it and send it to the various addressees you need to use a local
sorting agent such as procmail.
man fetchmail
man procmail
man procmailrc
man procmailex
man procmailsc
