I'm having some problems setting up fetchmail for use in
multidrop mode.

Currently, all email to users at ghostwheel.com is delivered
to a single inbox at my ISP.

On my local machine, I have two user accounts.  merlin & mefisto

I am trying to set up fetchmail so that it picks up the mail
waiting at my provider, parses the 'to' and delivers the mail
to the appropriate user.

So far, no good.  At best I am able to retrieve all the messages
and drop them into the merlin user's inbox.  I cannot get mail
addressed to mefisto@ghostwheel.com to be properly delivered.

If someone has this working, would you please share your
.fetchmailrc?  Minus the password  :)
