The deficiencies of "multidrop" fetchmail and mailing lists are stated in 
the manual. It is (unfortunately), not a problem that can be solved at
the e-smith server and gateway as the information has already been lost.

- Use SMTP directly to your box
- Use ETRN mode to grab mail from your ISP
- Ask your ISP to add a custom header which details the "envelope recipient"
  of the message (this is not the To: line, this is a line which is usually
  stripped when mail is stored in a user mailbox).
